They arrive in Sicily or Calabria, then take the road to the rest of Italy. While the government renews the containment measures of the virus (the Italians are still forced to bring the mask indoors) and the authorities try to contain the autochthonous outbreaks, on the coasts they land migrants infected. Foreigners who, in the absence of quarantine ships still operational, are transferred around the country in defiance of all common sense. If in the middle of pandemic citizens were forbidden to leave their town so as not to export the disease, migrants instead are moved from one part to another. Sowing concern among the communities called to welcome them.
This was demonstrated by the events of Amantea, in Calabria, where last week a large group of citizens opposed thehospitality of the 13 infected migrants who arrived in Rossella Jonica. They had landed on 11 July along with 57 other Bengalis. Many of them have been divided into various Calabrian communities, including precisely Amantea, nominated to host 24, of which 13 are positive at Covid. Citizens have opposed and now migrants have been transferred to Rome, to the Celio military hospital, where they will have to pass the quarantine.
Of travel here and there along the boot, however, the minister Luciana Lamorgese he is organizing others. IS already been announced the transfer of 300 migrants from Lampedusa to other shores “on the national territory first 11 positive, out of a group of 66 Asians who landed in Pozzallo on Monday, were brought to a facility in Ragusa and then transferred off the island by means of special ambulances equipped for bio-containment. The other 14 Pakistanis, found infected in a second round of swabs, will soon leave Sicily in the same way. Destination? For now it is a mystery. It is easy that the Interior Ministry wants to keep this information as confidential as possible to avoid provoking new protests in the Amantea style.
Tensions also occur in Brindisi, where 80 Tunisians landed in Lampedusa were brought to the Center for the repatriation of Restinco. To make room for them, report the Truth, 104 migrants diverted elsewhere between Lazio and Campania were forced to leave the facility. “You can’t stand to take decisions from Rome,” complained the center-left mayor of Brindisi, Riccardo Rossi. The only positive case recorded yesterday in the Region out of 2,711 tests came from here, given that a Tunisian was infected. The center by decision of the Interior Ministry has been transformed into a pre-Covid area, the place where i migrants to carry out the 14-day quarantine. At least until the call launched by the Civil Protection to identify ships to be anchored in Sicilian ports suitable for hosting people subjected to isolation on board. Problems also have to the Red Cross of Jesolo, where 43 people, including a healthcare professional, tested positive for the swab. The mayor preaches calm, but the fear is that the infection may spread in the city center, forcing a second lockdown to a community that with tourism is trying to retreat up. Also because of leaks from quarantine centers throughout Italy have already been recorded. He had told the al Giornale.it a source of Villa Sikania in Agrigento. 24 Tunisians left the Bisconte hotspot in Messina after attacking an agent. But even in Basso Campidiano an Algerian escaped from the center of Monastir and he also started to commit a robbery. 80 Algerians had arrived at Monastir in early July, two of which are positive.-
