01 March 2021 "The epidemic is still our main adversary. And we will still have to ask the citizens, who have been extraordinary up to now, to have the maximum sense of rigor, respect and attention to the rules put in place".
Thus the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, speaking at the presentation conference of the Agenas National Outcomes Program, which was held this morning at the Ministry of Health.
"The virus is insidious and complicated and cannot be fought with ordinances or dpcm. There is a need to feel the sense of a collective challenge" he specified.
"The contagion curve is rising significantly and we still need to fight vigorously," said the health minister.
"From all regions - he added - there are reports of a rising curve. Just look at the numbers of infections in the last week, which have grown significantly compared to previous weeks".
"The acceleration of the vaccination campaign - underlined Speranza - will allow us to get out of this affair in a structural way, but the next few weeks will not be easy weeks and we must recognize them for what they are".
Therefore, he added, "coherent decisions are needed with respect to the challenge we face and we need to ask citizens to still have the maximum sense of rigor and respect for the rules".
"The next few months are in which we have to keep together two objectives that seem different from each other, but which in reality are very connected: on the one hand the fight against Covid, try to accelerate, resist, and on the other, however, plan the Healthcare of the future. These are two things to keep together, "he continued.
"Emergency management, therefore managing today, this so complex today, and at the same time planning and planning the future. That is to have a vision that does not look to the next weeks, the next 2 months which are those that clearly worry us more at the moment, but look to the next few years - is the minister's invitation - with the lens of those who really think that the most precious resource we have in the National Health Service is ".
