New battles in Rome against the move, while there are more young people infected by coronavirus and infections from outside the alarm bells. They will extend the emergency measures for fear of another outbreak of the pandemic when the summer passes . Serious cases in Cremona.

The figures indicate 188 infected on Saturday and only 7 deaths, bringing the total to 34,945, bordering on the 35,000 deaths since February. Many, millions of Italians celebrate: the worst is over, from the pandemic we entered the endemic. This lightness stimulates new battles in Rome for the move that led to the closure of parks and streets , with thousands of young people celebrating, although official data warns that the average age of plagued people fell from 61 to 47 and that there have never been so many young people 18 years infected. They now represent 9.43%, not 2% from three months ago.

This weekend, police contingents closed Plaza Bolonia and other centers of the movement, preventing an early morning of overflows. Numerous stores were closed and fined for illegally selling alcohol . In the traditional Trastevere neighborhood, thousands of girls and boys defied the restrictions by dancing and singing without putting on the obligatory mask, or keeping their distance. The squeeze is a gesture of irresponsible rebellion. "Then they go home and infect everyone, first of all grandparents who pay much more serious consequences," said a municipal official.

Hundreds of policemen made meticulous controls in Trilussa Square, Santa María in Trastevere, San Callisto Square and Piazza San Cosimato. As in the other areas, fines were applied to bars, restaurants and nightclubs for violating the limitations on the sale of alcoholic beverages or for making customers respect the use of chinstraps and maintaining distances. A dozen businesses were closed for five days.

The young people avoided violent clashes against the police because they know that they are going to jail, but they insist with the “free everyone”. They believe that the price they will have to pay will be less serious if they become infected.

Once again the scenes of the movements were extended to other parts of the Italian capital, such as the Barrio Trieste, with its center in Istria square and Ippocrate avenue. Throughout Rome, more than 550 transgressors were identified.

In the Fiumicino area, the port next to the international airport, which also has its move, 250 young people were dispersed and two pubs closed for not applying the mandatory security measures.

Among the young people, between 14 and 24 years old, there were some attempts to resist the police, which did not progress to older. A well-known venue called "Opera" was closed for five days for not respecting anti-Covid rules19.

Walter Ricciardi, advisor to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, explains that many do not understand that "we are facing an epochal event that will last for years."

The extension to be announced on Tuesday of the emergency measures to contain the pestilence, "are absolutely essential in a phase of global growth of the pandemic." Ricciardi affirms that it is not only necessary to impose the use of masks and to maintain safety distances. "We have to maintain a rapid reaction capacity that the state of emergency guarantees us."

Emergency measures establish strict quarantine “red zones” as soon as outbreaks of infection are detected. There have been times when the areas exceeded one hundred. "Otherwise the situation risks escaping all control."

"The summer heat and humidity hinder the spread of the virus, but they are not enough to contrast it. I see a great relaxation of prudence and I ask Italians to react because if we continue like this we will miss the opportunity to drastically reduce infections, "explained the ministerial counselor. Fears are spreading to the phenomenon of frank growth of those infected who arrive in Italy infected from the outside. This is another growing phenomenon. Of 19 infections on Saturday in Rome, 12 originated beyond borders.

Among the traveling agents of the contagion are the Italians who return with the virus, but especially thousands of foreign workers . A part works in Italy. Now those who want to flee their countries are added, plus those who are looking to get medical treatment in Italy, which is very famous for its free health services.

The most controlled community is that of immigrants from Bangladesh. There are 180,000 in Italy, reports the newspaper  La Repubblica . It also mentions 127 thousand Moldovans and 92 thousand Peruvians, present with large communities in Rome. After suffering a wave of contagion from several flights from Bangladesh, Italy prohibited the entry to its territory to thirteen countries, including Brazil, Chile and Peru. On the other side is Uruguay, the only Latin American country whose inhabitants are on the gold list of "non-Covid-19" countries.

Among those who warn that there are repeated signs that the coronavirus seems less dangerous but is always present, the relief written in an Interne media by the nurse Luca Alini, 47, who provides services in the Cremona hospital, caused a sensation. of the most punished cities in Lombardy. Alini said that his had been "a relief" because "too many people have removed their chinstrap or have it only on their necks . " "I don't believe in scaremongering, but I do keep attention high."

The nurse gave an overview of what is happening in the Cremona hospital, which was a front line hospital in the battle against the epidemic that arrived on February 21 and flared up in April, May and part of June. “A week ago we had released Pneumology from the last patient. Seven days later, two had to be admitted, now there are ten from other sectors of the hospital. ”

Alini felt that she was beginning to "relive the nightmare, to live the worst situation again." "We have started hospitalizing Covid-19 patients with severe respiratory failure . "

The nurse confessed in confusion, because he also received many more insulting messages on social media than solidarity. "I've even been called a terrorist," he protested.

The hospital's health director, Rosario Canino, said that for the first time in three weeks, "the intensive care room is no longer empty . " "In the past few days we have had a small surge of new revenue."

The Intensive Care Primary, Antonio Colluccello, responded to the demand of what is the situation if the arrivals of seriously ill patients continue to increase; “Regarding the beginning of the emergency, at the end of February, we now have more and better sanitary weapons at our disposal. We have experimented with new drugs and we all learned how to treat the disease. We are ready to face the situation ”.
