April 27, 2020 "A Dpcm, the one presented by the Government, which in addition to containing questionable measures, has some obvious shortcomings and above all gags the Regions that I can only adopt restrictive but not extensive ordinances": this is what the Umbrian President, Donatella Tesei says.

"That is, you cannot widen the links - he adds -, not even taking into account the situation of contagion in its territory".

"We will submit our reopening schedule to the government", announced Donatella Tesei in the aftermath of the announcement of the new Dpcm on the management of the Covid emergency. "There are sectors - said the Umbrian governor -, as the category associations rightly affirm, not included among those that will be able to return to business on May 4 and which instead, with the right health precautions, could have reopened".

According to Tesei, protective devices are another topic on the national table. "We asked the Government - he explains in a note from the Region - that we are communicated a clear plan on the use of the devices and on their retrieval. Just as we asked for certainties as to how and where the parents, who will return to work, will be able to leave their children, and on all matters relating to public transport. Questions that have not yet been answered and that leave a huge hole. Thanks to our pressure, we got a meeting on Wednesday in which the Regions will ask a well-defined black and white reopening program for the Government, not only through media announcements, and as the Region of Umbria we will also submit our own recovery timeline ".

"This - underlines the president - is another great theme: the impossibility to date by the Regions to manage some situations through their own ordinances. In fact, as mentioned, there is only the possibility of restricting, but not of expanding the permitted activities Whoever does so runs the risk that the ordinance is contested and in any case considered ineffective, with the consequent penalties for those who carry out the activities themselves ".

"In addition to continuing to fight on the national table - concludes President Tesei - we are confronting the prefect to try, in the absence of national rules, to start all those activities that can be carried out safely".
