"This is the time to talk to all the governors, to agree on the next actions. We will propose a protocol shared with everyone to avoid going in a random order. On our part there is a predisposition for collaboration. And we will do it by working all together, "he added.

" It is not the moment of controversy , we have to work, the controversy does not interest me. I am confident - he added - because all the presidents have shown themselves available for collaboration". "We will do it by working together with the sole objective which is that of citizens' health. So no to dramatizations or alarms, we must act to contain the unease, "he added.

"We will also prepare to react to the economic emergency . By making a system, we will also offer an incredible economic response. We must not dramatize - he added - the measures are adequate".

"I hope these exits are an escaped voice, without realizing it, or it means that the government is starting to get out of control." The President of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fondana, comments on some statements by President Conte on the coronavirus emergency. Those of the premier, says the governor to the microphones of Radio Anch'io on Rai Radio 1, are "unfounded and unacceptable statements".

"Unfortunately, we followed the government's protocols." So Fontana. "I was silent, I did not argue, but if they accuse Lombardy I cannot keep silent - he adds -. We had proposed to increase controls one month before the epidemic broke out. They accused us of being racist, of spreading panic. Count on February 3 he said he trusted him, now he attacks us. I hope it is an escaped voice, otherwise it means that he has changed his strategy ".

BONACCINI
Never "as at this moment coordinated action is needed. The institution of daily videoconferencing, which will see the President of the Conte Council, the head of the Civil Protection Department Borrelli and all the presidents, also be an excellent tool of the Regions ". The governor of Emilia-Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini says it, speaking in an interview with La Stampa of the coronavirus emergency. The priority "is to avoid spreading the infection as much as possible," he explains. "Restrictive measures such as those in progress require a sacrifice by everyone, but they are necessary in order not to find ourselves later having to face an even more complex emergency".

CIRIO
That of the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, was an "unhappy and unclear exit". The president of the Piedmont Region, Alberto Cirio, supports him on the microphones of Agorà, on Rai Tre. "This is a health emergency and health is the responsibility of the Regions, we defend our prerogatives", adds Cirio. "The commissioner is nowhere to be found, perhaps those who underestimated the emergency should be commissioned. I defend the health of the Piedmontese".
