For May 1st checks as at Easter "Even during the May Day bridge checks must be carried out by the local police, just as it was done in an excellent way at Easter". This was asked by the Lombard Councilor for Security, Riccardo De Corato, recalling that during the Easter bridge "6,969 checks were carried out by the brigades of the 60 Municipalities involved in the Smart Covid project of the Lombardy Region and 467 penalties were imposed". Furthermore, "none of the Commands involved have withdrawn and the personnel involved in some of these Municipalities have reached peaks between 30 and over 50% of the workforce". To the local police, De Corato asks "also pay attention to 'phase 2', which must certainly not be a 'break the lines'". "Recognizing the importance of the work of the local police - he remembers - as Department in late March we allocated 464,000 euros for the 'Smart Covid-19' project, and with this funding will be paid, until the end of May, the overtime of the police Commands from the 60 Municipalities that have joined this initiative. Lastly, again in favor of the local police, we found another 40 thousand masks which will be delivered shortly ".
