Coronavirus phase 2, the Fontana line: in Lombardy only those with the conditions for safety will reopen

Lombardy traces the perimeter of the new normal, indicates to its ten million citizens the paradigm that will regulate their lives starting from Monday, waiting for the indications of the government to arrive. And the substance that has been announced: it opens those who can guarantee safety. The recurring word recommendations, but in fact the indications contained in the new order signed by Fontana are even more restrictive than those required at national level. Objective stated: To guarantee the protection of health in all workplaces in Lombardy, which from 18 May will be able to reopen regardless of the scope of activities provided they are able to ensure the adoption of fundamental measures to minimize the risk of new ones. contagions. These are six rules considered fundamental to face this phase 2 which follow those already widely repeated during these weeks of coexistence with the virus: from the use of devices to the distances between people, from measuring the temperature to observing the Inail guidelines and the Higher Institute of Health, from using the app for regional monitoring to smartworking. But everything linked to the dictates of the government, they all want to underline at Palazzo Lombardia.

The app to download

In detail, at least until May 31, Lombard employers will have to subject their staff to body temperature checks before entering the workplace. And if it turns out to be higher than 37.5, they will have to send them home. And even more so they will be required to pay close attention to any spy symptoms during working days. In case of cough, cold, conjunctivitis, immediate isolation, the call to the medical aid and the communication of the company to the competent Ats must be triggered. Overall, 2 million 700 thousand people physically present at their jobs are expected from Monday in Lombardy, as well as one million in smart working and 300 thousand still stuck. With the reopening of shops, bars, restaurants, hairdressers and beauty centers, however, a new variable is introduced: customers. And in fact there is also a prescription to detect the temperature even to all of them before accessing any service. And, again, above 37.5, the entry ban and the invitation to contact your doctor must be triggered. The Lombardy Region also strongly recommends downloading and using the AllertaLom app and answering the questions of the CercaCovid questionnaire. Indeed, it should become a daily gesture for employers.

The protest by Confcommercio

In short, nothing revolutionary for many people who have already seen their lives revolutionized by the emergency that has swept everything and everyone. But in any case the same Lombard ordinance refers to government texts all that still needs to be clarified. And not a little. Tomorrow morning there will be a meeting with our technical scientific committee and with the government that will clarify what openings it wants to do on May 18 and what are the further lines of action it wants to adopt and has not yet communicated, the same explained yesterday afternoon President Fontana. With an emphasis: Mayors are concerned that there are still no definitive measures by the government. But in the meantime the rougher reaction comes from the traders who, through Confcommercio Lombardia, ask for certain, easily applicable and sustainable rules. Yesterday morning, at the meeting of the Development Pact, the trade association raised the issue vigorously on behalf of over 140 thousand companies: It is unthinkable, for example, that public businesses and restaurants can resume business with the obligation to maintain 4 square meters per customer because measures such as this, if made mandatory, would not be evidently economically bearable. And also with regard to temperature measurement – mandatory for employees and recommended for customers – merchants object: Even in practice, it will be impossible to find a sufficient quantity of thermal scanners for Monday.
