The coordination table on the Coronavirus emergency convened at Palazzo Chigi ended in the evening, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte spoke to journalists arriving at the Civil Protection headquarters for an update on the coronavirus: "We have agreed on a decree of mine to implement agreed measures also at regional level. We have defined the details in order to make all the measures effective "in the areas affected by the emergency. "They also concern the suspension of all activities and also school activities."

"Management of an out of protocol hospital"
"We cannot predict the progress of the virus: there was an outbreak and from there it also spread for the management of a hospital structure that is not entirely its own according to the prudent protocols that are recommended in these cases, and this has contributed to the diffusion. We continue with the utmost caution and rigor ". Giuseppe Conte continued.

Gallera: ignoble attack by Conte, unacceptable declaration by an ignorant person

"An unacceptable declaration by an ignorant person, because it absolutely ignores what the protocols defined by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità were and are. We followed slavishly what had been determined by the ISS and the guidelines of the Ministry". These are the words of Giulio Gallera, councilor for Welfare of the Lombardy Region, in Agora 'on Rai Tre, with reference to the statements of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte yesterday on the alleged failure to comply with the protocols to the Codogno hospital on coronavirus. "The problem is that the Prime Minister does not know the protocols and throws the ball in the stands to cover the gigantic flaws of a national civil protection system that is not giving any kind of answers to the organizational and managerial problems that should have foreseen and prepared "added Gallera, who stressed:" The government's total inability to manage something that they were supposed to foresee is now emerging. " "We are ignobly attacked by a Prime Minister who, not knowing what he is talking about, says that we do not follow the protocols, when Lombardy reason the protocols not only contributes to the national implementation, but follows them on time".

Count: everyone follows national guidelines
"I recommended to President Ceriscioli to refrain from suspension of school activities". The Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, said this when he came to Civil Protection. "Everyone must listen to us and follow the directions we impose at national level. It is not possible for everyone to go their own way," added Conte. "The national health system, structured on a regional basis" requires "coordination" with respect to a "national" emergency such as Coronavirus, Conte then said in an interview with Raiuno, adding that this is what he is trying to achieve with the presidents of the Regions. "In the absence of such coordination" measures will be necessary that "will contain the prerogatives of the Governors" he specified.

There is no need for unilateral choices from individual territories. "
