The experts were saying already for hours for the extension to the whole of the Italy of the measures already adopted in the North. The Government thus had no need to riascoltarli and moved on the recommendation of the minister of Health Roberto Hope and the president of the Council, Count, knowing that the technical-scientific Committee of civil protection, which this morning you will meet with the executive, all in accordance with the new decision.
In recent days, more than one scientist has reported on the risks which they ran in Italy out of the orange zone, between aperitifs crowded events full of people, night travel on the trains to the regions of the Centre-South. “I have raised the alarm over Rome, where the cases are not yet many, but in the last days are increasing, but the speech is the same for all the rest of Italy. It makes no sense risking to find themselves with a situation similar to the Lombardy elsewhere”. To speak was Giovanni Rezza, head of infectious diseases of the national Institute of health: “After decided the closure of all schools on the national territory can’t be left open all the rest, and in some areas of the Country in the evening go partying all together. Now it gives a strong signal but it is consequential with respect to that decision.”
Walter Ricciardi, a member of the Committee and the adviser to the minister of Health for international relations, is of this opinion. “The situation is not good,” he said, we have an increase of cases and deaths, and this shows a deterioration. Just step up the measures to contain Covid-19. In the old red zone and the containment measures seem to have worked. Italy, however, yesterday was in a situation similar to that of Wuhan before the closing of the city”. With regard to the ability of the new measures to defeat the epidemic, Rezza explains that “however, the delay. It is essential that the coronavirus to slow down so as to not have so many cases all together, that would be the crisis of the Italian health. We hope to dilute the wave, otherwise the revives don’t make it”.
The decision of the government will stop the “leakage” from the Regions declared yesterday the orange zone. “Close everything to avoid the movements. You may not, and anyway it no longer makes sense, move away from areas where they are took restrictive measures, as the situation now will be the same everywhere. Of course, a decision like the one taken by Italy, should be adopted also by other european Countries to be even more effective”.
According to Security and trains crowded parties the other night from Milan “were like bombs biological, because inside there were people coming from areas of the north affected by the virus”. But the people will understand the new measures? “For days, in many you are made to problems in the communication of what rischiavamo – says Security – Not wanted to frighten the citizens by describing the situation in the North and the risks that ran throughout the Country, but it was wrong and useless, as demonstrated by some of the scenes seen in these days. Be these things as they are: we are in danger, in particular those most vulnerable. However, the countermeasure is not complicated. You need to stay at home, so you reduces the circulation of the virus, and thus the severity of the epidemic”.
