Tuscany, truck parties with masks

(ANSA) - FLORENCE, APRIL 6 - "The trucks for the distribution to the Tuscan Municipalities have already left" of the masks to be delivered to citizens: said Enrico Rossi, president of the Tuscany Region. "I asked the mayors to be distributed door-to-door to avoid gatherings otherwise there is a risk of getting worse. There are about 2-3 masks per head: they are not reliable enough but they are a first sign to which we want others to follow." Rossi stressed that this "is a precautionary measure" to stem the contagion from Coronavirus "and as such I believe it is right that it is borne by the regional health service". After the first 10 million, "of masks we have purchased, ordered another 20 million, and we want to continue distributing them. There are many producers in Tuscany who make them. This mass distribution is linked to the fact that there are particularly hateful speculative phenomena, the masks have reached numbers stratospheric ... it is an initiative that we will continue, it is not a commercial ".
