by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 09 May 2020The regional ordinance on the reopening of activities in Liguria, taken "in agreement with other regions that will come into force from midnight tomorrow (from 11 May, ed), will not be a subversive ordinance against of the government . We will only say that this week we 'put things right' and from 18 we start again because we can not wait even an hour anymore and we want to have all the guidelines to do it ". Giovanni Toti said so. Free and equipped beaches

are also included among the activities that can resume the startwhere "there will be people who control and monitor at the entrances as people cannot cross each other" and therefore "that they are not too crowded". This is what Toti, optimist on regional data on the Covid-19 epidemic, said in Genoa:"With an R close to 0.5 I feel calm enough to say that starting from May 18th in Liguria we start again". It is also the intention of the Liguria Region "to reopen hairdressers, beauticians, shopkeepers, artisans from 18 May, including  bars and restaurants. Already from 11 May they will be able to go into their activities to prepare for the reopening" added the President of the Region, explaining: " Traders, hairdressers, artisans will be able to go to their workshops to start tidying up, ordering their houses, painting a wall, setting up a shop window ".

The governor Toti also specified: "Until May 18 the Government has forbidden the reopening. It is clear to everyone, however, that from 18 the Liguria Region takes back its chance to decide" specifying that "the May 17 expires the Dpcm and from 18, as far as I'm concerned, we start again with all the activities. We will see the numbers but all the parameters are going substantially well: they are positive data that make me optimistic "said Toti. In short, "from 18 Liguria - reiterates Toti - the possibility of making a decision is taken again, obviously always based on numbers and health data". With the ordinance that will come into force on Monday 11 May and will be presented on Sunday 10 May "we will give the Ligurians the opportunity to move with the whole family, no longer exclusively alone, to the second homes. Just as we will give the opportunity to go to fishing together with members of the same family. You can also go with the whole family by boat, you can play sports throughout the Region, there will be more room for maneuver. We will allow you to move around the Region ".

The Governor, then, also announced a strong action to  start the tourist season : "I hope that the Government will soon open the borders of the regions and that it will return to travel freely in this country. Liguria is already used to it, we arrive here 10 thousand Tir every day, our ports have remained open and have guaranteed the whole of Italy to be able to feed. " "We know how to handle traffic well, we will be careful, but we must start again. We will do it on the basis of numbers, we are and have never been unconscious. But if we do not start again, we will no longer know how to eat," Toti concluded.
