We have 74 fewer patients in intensive care, and even the deceased have fallen from 970 on 27 to 680 today. strong message that this should not be read in the least as a message that we have now passed the critical phase, a danger that has escaped: we have not yet escaped anything.

Compliance with measures only way to honor the dead
"Minister Speranza recalled the importance of respecting the rules of social distancing. Even the mayor of Milan stressed the increase in travel, each of us must have behaviors marked by the highest sense of individual responsibility. It is the only way to honor the memory of our fellow citizens who have lost their lives "added Locatelli, who dedicated a thought to the escort agent of Prime Minister Conte who died:" A servant of the state has disappeared. We must dedicate a sincere and affectionate thought , to be extended to the children and loved ones. Another of those categories that lose their lives to protect the health of Italians ".

30 thousand deaths avoided with containment measures

On March 27 the dead were 12% more than the previous day, today we are to 5%. The increase in ICU patients was + 3%, we are at -2%. The total number of hospitalized patients went from + 5% to 1%. The numbers speak for themselves "remarked Locatelli .
