(ANSA) - PERUGIA, 07 FEB - "We had to adopt a heavy measure that requires sacrifices for everyone, but I followed the indications and requests of health. Not only the regional ones but also the higher institute": said the president of the Umbria Region Donatella Tesei regarding the red zone arranged from Monday for the whole province of Perugia and six municipalities of that of Terni following the emergence of the English and Brazilian variants.
The governor was interviewed by the TgR Rai of Umbria.
He then spoke of "necessary measures".
"I have adopted - Tesei recalled - a principle of maximum precaution to prevent the virus from spreading to the rest of Umbria and neighboring regions. I believe that this in-depth study that has been done is useful to the whole country and now other regions are also beginning to intervene with more in-depth examinations to isolate the variants.
The Brazilian variant was identified on January 10 and we managed to put the question to the ISS. This means - concluded Tesei - that the system is able to react immediately ". (HANDLE).
