Covid Sicily, ordinance: “It is possible to cross Strait of Messina with only a swab”

The president of the Sicilian Region Nello Musumeci has signed an order that allows you to cross the Strait of Messina with only the Covid buffer. “The access to the means of maritime transport for crossing the Strait of Messina and for the movement from the smaller islands, although the possession of the super green pass is not required, is allowed only to those who can show the negative report of an antigenic swab or molecular “specifies the technical secretariat of the presidency of the Sicilian Region, to clarify the content of the ordinance. The order was signed by Musumeci, “after 24 hours have elapsed in vain since the last appeal addressed to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, after the one addressed on January 5 to Prime Minister Draghi”. The provision is adopted “in order to guarantee and safeguard territorial continuity, access and use of maritime means of public transport for crossing the Strait of Messina as well as for connections to and from the Sicilian minor islands”. the governor’s ordinance also states that “persons who use open ships for maritime connections in the Strait of Messina on board cars or other means of transport are prohibited from abandoning the same means for the entire time of the crossing. If, on the other hand, it is a question of pedestrians, they are obliged to remain in the open common areas of the boats, on the contrary, access to the closed rooms is prohibited. In any case, it is mandatory for all passengers to keep worn, for the entire period of permanence on board the aforementioned means of maritime transport, an FFP2 mask “. “We are thus putting an end to an absurd injustice to the detriment of Sicilian passengers above all – declares Musumeci – a discriminatory rule of the central government to which we have already appealed for two weeks, so that it can be remedied”.
