02 July 2021 "Today zero deaths from Covid in Lombardy, it hadn't happened since 6 October". This was announced on Twitter by the vice president of the Lombardy Region, Letizia Moratti. "Then the autumn and the variants made us fall back into the nightmare. Now we can look to the future with more hope, the importance of maintaining prudent behavior and adhering to the vaccination campaign remains", concluded the vice president of the Region.

The absolute priority of the vaccination campaign is to secure the elderly - who make up our roots - and the fragile ones, the most exposed to the harmful consequences of the diseases caused by Covid ". Thus the emergency commissioner Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, in an interview with 'La Nuova Sardegna'. "The coverage of the over 80 range today exceeds 86% with at least one dose, the 70-79 range is 84%. Even more needs to be done for the 60-69 range, which is around 76%. Many of these people find it difficult to be reached, both for booking and for administration. We need the maximum of incisiveness, and we need to act across the board ".

The vaccination campaign remains the fundamental weapon to try to put such a difficult season behind us ". Thus Minister Roberto Speranza during the conference 'Let's start again, National Day for health and well-being in cities'." Having said that - he continues , after underlining the "encouraging numbers" - I continue to ask for maximum attention and maximum prudence. When we decided on the reopening, starting from April 26th, we chose a gradual path. The numbers are saying that the way was right. And I believe it remains. It would be a very serious mistake to imagine that we have definitively won this battle. Instead, we are still in this battle and we need great caution and prudence and continue to monitor everything that happens ".
