July 05, 2020 "I make a new appeal to everyone to respect the rules. Contagions increase because many do not respect them. Swaggering and irresponsible attitudes put others' safety at risk". This was stated on Facebook by the national secretary of the Democratic Party and President of the Lazio Region Nicola Zingaretti. "As we have been saying for a long time - he adds - the virus is still in circulation and lowering our guard is now really wrong. Thanks to the hundreds of health workers, law enforcement officers, mayors and administrators who are very active in identifying the positives and then isolating the outbreaks But this is not enough: we must continue to use the mask, keep the safety distance and sanitize the hands and the environment. Rules that are not complicated, but are fundamental to protect ourselves and for this reason they must be observed, otherwise we risk going back and burning everyone the sacrifices we have made in recent months ".

"More checks for those arriving in Rome, fiduciary isolation a flop"
"Every day we find ourselves with new import cases, people who carry the coronavirus from countries where it is still circulating a lot. The border control system does not work, possible that the government does not understand it? This underestimation surprises me. At this point, the only way is to rent a few hotels near Fiumicino airport and have the quarantine pass for those who enter Italy and arrive from non-EU countries ". To say this in an interview with Messaggero Alessio D'Amato, the Lazio Region Health Councilor, who says he is "worried" about ineffective border controls.

"For Lazio the main problems are these citizens returning from Bangladesh, for this reason a campaign of carpet swabs for this community is starting. The representatives of the associations of immigrants from Bangladesh thanked us. The last case is a boy from 25 years old, he was on the famous flight via Dubai from Dhaka, with which numerous positives have already arrived ", underlines D'Amato recalling that the man has not been quarantined. 

"Let's face it: the instrument of fiduciary isolation does not work, it is useless that we turn around - D'Amato points out - Either they take hotels in the airport area and have the quarantine done there, or they don't go out. Let's put ourselves in the shoes of these Bangladesh boys: they had left Italy frightened by the epidemic, now in their country the situation is dramatic because the coronavirus is out of control and, since they often have work and residence here, they do the impossible to return to Italy. Do we really think, upon their arrival, that they will go to quarantine in a studio apartment on their own? No, they will probably go to apartments with other compatriots who are at risk of getting infected, they will try to resume work immediately because they need it. it applies to those coming from Brazil, the United States, Mexico, Pakistan. It also applies to Italians returning from countries with that level of virus circulation. "

"We now have about forty import cases, but they are only the intercepted ones", highlights D'Amato who on the surge in cases in Lazio (31 in one day) states "on the one hand we are aware that we have two family clusters substantially under control and that a dozen positives have been intercepted in the hospital entrances, so there is no emergency situation. On the other hand I repeat what I have always said: there is too much relaxation, in the behaviors, we do not understand that the virus it still circulates and there are those who are still hospitalized. This is a risk ".
