Covid, Bertolaso: “All of Italy towards the red zone”

The numbers of the new infected are growing, especially thanks to the English variant. And the colors of the different areas of Italy could change from hour to hour. For Guido Bertolaso, consultant to the president of the Lombardy Region for the Vaccinal Plan “all of Italy, except Sardinia, is approaching with long strides towards the red zone. Lombardy, for what it has been through in recent months, is more vulnerable than other regions, but I’m not worried about this region more than others. There is no question that we need to vaccinate. We can do a lot more than what we are already doing in this situation. We need to go to Brussels and beat our fists. “

Piedmont, schools in Dad

But there is not only Lombardy to “fight” against the sharply rising curve of infections. For the president of the Piedmont Region Alberto Cirio “although the warning lights have not yet come on, we have a situation that tells us that, every day, things are getting worse. There is a contagion that is rising, numbers that are increasing. We still have, and it is a fact important, the values ​​of admissions in intensive care and in ordinary therapy which are below the threshold, below 30 and 40%. But there is an increase and it is a daily increase “. Cirio, interviewed by Sky Tg24 he then remarked: “This is the reason why I intervened and will intervene again in the coming days and as we have already started to do with the red areas and we will do in the next few days, we must be ready to intervene surgically where it is necessary”. Concluding: “The numbers of the pre-report will arrive this evening, the weekly evaluation is important and I believe that we have the numbers to generally remain in the orange zone, but instead we must intervene promptly day by day where there are outbreaks and above all where there are English variants, as we have done in the past few hours “. President Cirio announces the closure of schools but with diversifications in the various Piedmont provincesi.

Schools closed in Piedmont, towards a total stop in Turin and in three other provinces. Lessons in attendance up to sixth grade in the others

Emilia Romagna: “We await new checks”

While the president of Emilia Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini, does not use shortcuts and admits speaking of some restrictive measures taken in areas of the Region: “We have to make difficult and painful decisions, imagine if after a year I wanted to make decisions like this. I take every responsibility”. Bonaccini then underlined: “The institutions have the task of telling the truth and deciding to avoid worse decisions, we must act now against a danger that has raised its head with different malice”. For the governor of Emilia Romagna it is therefore “useless to deceive people. We need to verify what happens. We cannot imagine answers with these variants. It would be little responsible for me to be able to indicate to citizens a date of exit”. “We must resist – concludes the president -: now we respect the rules. The danger is still high, but I trust that these restrictions, in the coming weeks, will bend the curve and the arrival of spring and vaccination will make us reopen and never close”
