"This government wants to extend the Dpcm with anti-Covid measures until July 31 : the obligation to wear masks remains." This was stated by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza in the Senate, illustrating in the Senate Chamber the new dpcm of extension to July 31 of the anti Covid measures. The "game to defeat Covid - he added - is far from over, caution is needed".
"Today there are 13 million and a half million dead, it is clear that we cannot let our guard down. Let's not split on this, even in the scientific community on the debates, but no one says that you should not wear masks, keep your distance or wash your hands ".
"There is no zero risk without the vaccine, we must not underestimate the risk of the pandemic. The circulation of the virus accelerates and does not lose power," said the minister, who confirmed the quarantine from non-EU countries. 'To rekindle our economy - he noted - we do not have to step back on prevention measures, for this reason the Government wants to extend the Dpcm until July 31st: there is an obligation to wear masks and a ban on entry from non-EU countries and more stringent controls on ports and airports. We cannot nullify the sacrifices made. To date, the ban on entry and transit concerns 13 countries, we will constantly update this list and for all arrivals from non-European countries the 14-day quarantine is confirmed ".
As for the reopening of schools in safety, said Speranza, "it is the most important game, without the reopening of all the schools we will never be truly out of the lockdown. It is an appointment that must be managed with utmost caution and prudence. We must keep a level of monitoring and school staff will undergo serological investigation. "
