Curcio: we are at war, we need war laws. The situation of the pandemic in Italy requires drastic measures. And, not surprisingly, the head of civil protection Fabrizio Cucio uses words like “war” and “emergency”. “We are at war. War rules are needed. And it seems to me that this is being done here, starting with the use of pharmacies that will see one of the first activation points in Liguria, as well as the rule that unlocks the operation of nurses and many other things done and implemented to favor both technical and political part “. Here, then, are the words of the man who supports General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo in this emergency. Then Curcio added referring to the work they are carrying out in Liguria: “Let us see what you can do – he concluded – so that we can transfer it to the national level as a best practice to be implemented all together”. In short, the need for a common direction emerges more and more and in an evident way and that surpasses the regional indications. Here to learn more.
THE CALENDAR OF RESTRICTIONS
Fedriga: I’ll ask Draghi for staff. “Guarantee the staff to the Region to make vaccines.” This is what the Fvg Governor, Massimiliano Fedriga, will ask the Prime Minister this afternoon during the scheduled meeting. This was announced by Fedriga himself this morning, on the sidelines of a press conference. “The previous government had promised us the dispatch of personnel: more than 300 people should have arrived, but 50 have arrived, in the face of a need at a regional level that touches upon the additional 500 people,” he added. For the President of the Fvg, “today it is the regions that are rolling up their sleeves, that are making the staff available, that are doing the organizational part, that the hubs are doing, that are injecting the vaccines.” Then, a not too veiled criticism: «It seems to me that someone in Rome, and I’m not talking about the Prime Minister who has shown great sensitivity and availability, is telling us how to make vaccines. In telling one is never wrong, making one wrong. But whoever tells does philosophy, whoever does, solves problems. We are the ones who do, ”he concluded.
Riccardi: after Fiera Pordenone, there will be other vaccine centers. “We welcome this result with satisfaction with the aim of opening additional points in the territory of the province of Pordenone in the coming days”: said the vice president of Fvg, Riccardo Riccardi, at the inauguration of the Asfo vaccination center (Western Friuli Health Authority) at the fair. About the amount of vaccines destined for the Fvg of the 3 million arriving this week, Riccardi recalled that, “the calculation of the projection is always around 2%, it is what is planned for the month of April”. As for the Sputnik vaccine, «as also stated by President Fedriga, we must have a national line, we cannot have different lines in one region than in another. Any effective tool validated by the competent scientific authorities is right to be used. Then I do not participate in the race to see who is cooler than the other because it seems completely useless. We have so little energy and we have spent so much during this year that we must jealously guard them and use them to face this battle which is still ongoing ». Here to learn more.
Riccardi: those who work in health care must be vaccinated. «My position on vaccines for healthcare professionals has been clear for a long time: I am very much in agreement with what the Government and some parliamentarians, including Senator Ronzulli from my party, have presented: a measure that requires vaccination. It seems to me that there is a large convergence on this. Everyone must take responsibility for the professions they carry out. It is not possible that those who work in health care are not vaccinated ». This was stated by the deputy governor of Friuli Venezia Giulia with responsibility for Health, Riccardo Riccardi, in Pordenone at the start of the vaccination center at the Fiera. “The Region applies the rules in force – Riccardi observed however – which establish that at this time there can be no type of measure”.
