"Now is the time to protect the economy and jobs, knowing that health and life always come first. We are putting all our strength together." This was stated by the Minister for Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia. "The Italians - added the minister - have already shown that they have a great sense of responsibility and I am sure that this will continue this summer too. Now the phase of life begins in this new normal and we must face it exactly as we have faced life at the time the lockdown. " "We were not prepared - said Boccia - for such a strong, hard and painful closure as we have experienced, but we did it and now an even more complex phase begins". "We must help - he concluded - especially those who have economic activities and jobs on their shoulders".
"I will write to Stefano Bonaccini to ask that there is a common position taken by all the Regions on local public transport," said Luca Zaia, Governor of Veneto, noting that on mobility "we are convinced that if the car turns into four or five with the mask, if you are not living together, at the same restaurant in public transport you have to go back to the original capacities ". "It is useless to live romanticism on these things - he stressed - because there are not enough trains for the required needs and so it is valid for all public transport". "We have a tourism promotion project linked to the Covid-19 emergency relaunch, we will present it, I consider it innovative keeping in mind that there will be 'scrum' at the center because everyone will run to propose their offer". "We will try to do something special - Zaia remarked - after which there must be something at national level with a structured proposal: to date, however, nothing has been seen". "As regional presidents - he added - we are not informed of plans, we hope that everything does not boil down to a few posters around the airports because it would serve no purpose".
"Today we celebrate national unity in the name of the important words spoken by the President of the Republic - said the President of the Regional Council of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca -. From tomorrow, by decision of the Government, mobility will start on the whole national territory , beyond certain expressed reservations. We will try to adopt, with balance and serenity, prevention measures to protect our communities ". "But, once the decision has been taken, we move on. It is necessary to make sure that this new phase is an opportunity to increase the values of unity and national solidarity, of total commitment for the revitalization of the economy and work, for support for those hit hard by the ongoing crisis, "adds the governor.
"We are thinking, and I will have to decide this afternoon, if in addition to the Immuni app, always ask freely to all those who arrive in Puglia, for any reason, to still report their presence and in some way to pin their contacts, in such a way that if necessary we can rebuild them more easily and faster ", explained the president of the Puglia Region, Michele Emiliano . Asked if he is worried about the reopening between regions, Emiliano said "no", explaining that the Puglia Region is considering whether to provide the report for those arriving and announcing that "we are also preparing a small site". "It is the function - he specified - that the famous quarantine ordinance had: if almost 60 thousand people respected that ordinance - said the president - they did so out of responsibility. Their declarations on the Region's website have been invaluable in identifying many more than 200 infected, and in the last period we even found a couple deriving from the statements they had made on the site that had aroused the curiosity of the prevention departments, one from Milan and one from Bergamo, asymptomatic but positive ". As for Immuni, downloadable since yesterday evening and whose testing in Puglia begins tomorrow, the president said he had not "downloaded the app yet: I wanted to be absolutely sure that it worked - he concluded - and they tell me that it has been working since this morning".
