Covid Lombardia, Fontana: “White zone from June 14 if confirmed data”

“In Lombardy for 10 days we have had numbers from the white zone, numbers that must be confirmed until June 14. If they are confirmed we will enter the white zone”. This was said by the Lombard governor, Attilio Fontana, guest on Sky Tg 24. If things go well, Fontana assured, “surely” Lombardy will be in the white zone. “We have an incidence rate of 31 per 100 thousand – added Fontana – a reduction in the number of places occupied in resuscitation and in hospitals, these are all data that confirm that at this moment we would be in the white zone. white “. As for vaccines, Fontana reiterated that “if the quantity of doses promised to us is confirmed by the end of July, all Lombard citizens will have received at least the first dose of the vaccine” against Covid. In the event that the holidays were “long” of over a week, we can organize ourselves by postponing the second dose of the vaccine. “Surely it is better for the patient who leaves with the first vaccination in Lombardy” if he does “the recall here, there are no doubts and interpretations both for those who get the vaccine and for those who receive it” but “it is clear if you go on vacation over three months, for a long vacation, that solutions must be found “. “We are ready, if asked, to equip ourselves to vaccinate tourists too – explained Fontana -. Provided they give us the vaccines, we will do it for sure”. As for seasonal workers, “so far we have all vaccinated them – explained Fontana – workers and students who were on our territory and with the workers we will continue as we did”. From the end of the month in Lombardy it will be possible to change the date of the vaccine recall also online . “The vaccine on vacation” is certainly a complicated thing but we are ready to do it – said Fontana – we want to meet our citizens who go on vacation, giving them the possibility to change the booking of the second dose in case it interferes with the holidays. Now it is already possible through the call center and from the end of the month it will be possible to change the date also online. Fontana then announced that the hospital in Fiera, built by the Lombardy Region in record time to cope with the health emergency, “is finishing discharging the last recovered patients, we will not close it but we will put it on stand-by, as it was its original function “. The hospital “will no longer be operational from the weekend – explained Fontana – but we will keep it efficient, ready for any eventuality. It had to be a guarantee, a lung in case of need, without engulfing hospital resuscitation”. “The government is there. listening and trying to take steps forward towards normality, perhaps it would be appropriate to take a few steps a little bit more intense, stronger, for example to extend the possibility of removing outdoor restrictions to the yellow areas ” , said the Lombard governor.
