April 5, 2020 "Whenever you go out of the house, you must take all the precautionary measures allowed and adequate to protect yourself and others from contagion, using the mask or, in the alternative, any other clothing covering the nose and mouth, at the same time as a punctual hand disinfection. In any external social activity, however, the interpersonal safety distance of at least one meter must be maintained ". This is the order of the Lombardy Region on the obligation to wear a mask.

Precise fountain
"We are not crazy enough to foresee an ordinance that is not feasible", underlined Fontana, "we know very well that the masks are few and that they are difficult to find. In the ordinance we said that every time we go out of the The home must take all the precautionary measures allowed and adequate to protect themselves and others from contagion, even using the mask. Or, in the alternative, using any other clothing to cover the nose and mouth ".

No clashes with the government
"I don't want to have any kind of confrontation with the government, I want to try to have the maximum collaborative relationship". Said the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, "every time there is a controversy, I feel I offend the my citizens, I feel like wasting time that I would like to devote to more useful things and I feel humiliated towards the Lombards who would like to see me work instead of being forced to respond to certain things ".

All weapons are needed
With the data on coronavirus infection in Lombardy "we are on the plain and we must tighten the bolts to begin the descent": "It is an initiative that I decided to do both after reading what they do in other foreign countries and talking to our Of course - added Fontana - the masks solve the problem 100%, the scarves 30-40% ", but" rather than nothing is better rather ".

Desire for autonomy
If Lombardy had had autonomy, and therefore also the possibility of hiring doctors and nurses in the coronavirus emergency "we would have presented ourselves with a thousand more doctors and this would have been very useful". "They would have been very useful. Our staff - he observed - would not have found themselves in the situation in which they found themselves", practically "destroyed". According to Fontana, there are no alternatives to autonomy in order to have a better health, otherwise we return to the "centralistic quagmire of Rome".

Lombard masks
"Today the Civil Protection will begin to distribute in the various cities around a million masks" produced by a Lombard company, Fippi, a diaper company from Rho that has converted to produce the masks and has just had the OK of Higher Institute of Health.

Investments are needed
On the interventions for the recovery after the coronavirus emergency "we need a very strong intervention" by the state "not with the figures they speak of today". Fontana said there is a need to multiply them "by ten" or there is a risk of "being overwhelmed by the crisis". "We need to make choices, to have a government capable of planning. We must make sure that investments are planned to redesign the future of our country. We cannot stop halfway. If we stop halfway with small warm panels we risk staying overwhelmed by this crisis ".

Sala: "On masks I respect, but it is confusing
"From today to go out on the street we have to wear a mask or, to the limit, a scarf or a scarf. Let me say that it is a bit confusing to receive this provision from the Lombardy Region and to hear Borrelli, the head of the Civil Protection, a person whom I respect, say 'I won't put it on and keep my distance' ". So the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, commented on the order of the Region that establishes the obligation for citizens to use masks, or in any case to cover the mouth and nose, when leaving the house. "But I want to remain faithful to what I said from the beginning and that is the ordinances, the directives must be applied and not discussed so I can only tell you we apply this ordinance of the Lombardy Region", he concluded in the daily video on social media.

Regulate prices, though
The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, asks to regulate the prices of the masks that are sold in pharmacies. "It is time to regulate the price of the masks in pharmacies. Is this not normal? These are not normal moments and in my opinion it must be done. It is certain that those who are responsible for health at various libels must provide the masks because today they do not they arrive".

Reopening churches, "Salvini only looks for newspaper headlines"
The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, is "against" the reopening of the churches for Easter as proposed by the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini. "I have always imposed myself in this space to avoid controversy and to use moderate tones and I will do it - said Sala in the video that he posts every day on his social pages - but to Matteo Salvini I have to address an observation and a question, since he asks reopening of churches for Easter. I disagree because I think that in these moments one's faith can and should also be a personal and private matter ". "But the question is: if you really want to open the churches, if it's not just a headline for a newspaper, then you have to do something very clear - he concluded - that is, you have to ask either Lombardy or Veneto, Regions that governments, to make an ordinance in this sense. Otherwise we are always looking for words and not facts ".
