Coronavirus: Federparchi, clarifying the usability of the parks

"It is urgent to clarify the usability of parks" which "are good for health and can contribute to recovery". Thus the executive board of Federparchi expresses "disappointment with respect to what is envisaged for Phase two; in the Dpcm there is no clear reference to the usability of parks and protected natural areas, and there is the risk of introducing elements of confusion". "For some time now doctors, specialists and virologists - adds Federparchi - have told us that contact with nature is good for health. We have repeatedly stated that park authorities are already able to guarantee a distance and contingency of attendances". In addition, "park guides accompanying small groups can play an important role in health education and monitoring compliance with the rules". Federparchi asks the government and Parliament that "the possibility of accessing protected natural areas be urgently clarified", among the reasons "for mobility" on physical activity; "a clarification that would also help the sustainable tourism chain".
