Coronavirus, the rebellion of Zaia: Wrong to insulate us, say scientists

The Veneto rebels more or less everything that has happened in the last 24 hours. The decree of the Presidency of the council, the way in which it has leaked a draft of the newspapers, to the approval of the night without questioning, content, finally, of a standard that a free part Vo' from the quarantine, the other color is orange three entire provinces. Among the most productive in the Region: Padova, Treviso, Venezia. "These are measures that are exaggerated at the moment we do not have a ratio," says the governor Luca Zaia. Convinced of being on the side of reason, especially after having read the report of the technical-scientific Committee of nato to support the crisis Unit of the civil protection of the Veneto region. A card that, obviously, in Rome or have not read, or have not shared.

Therefore, we start from the relationship. It is dated 7 march. The sign, the twelve specialists of virology and microbiology working in the health facilities in region, who argue that the spread of Coronavirus on the territory, veneto is the yes to growth, but localized and, all in all, under control. So prompt them to use words steeped in controversy vis-à-vis the government and to evoke a concept uncomfortable as the unfairness between the institutions. "The measure of extreme isolation - they write - has had no comparison, neither the scientific nor of the institutional loyalty with the engineers of the Veneto Region, which for months are following the evolution of the situation. You do not understand the rationale of a measure, which appears scientifically disproportionate to the current trends in the epidemiological".

According to the Committee there is no justified reason to quit the three provinces, forcing them to the restrictions that the decree of the emergency plan. The reasoning of the twelve doctors relies on three circumstances. The first: the outbreak of Vo' has been contained, the contagion is blocked, and the new test of the population it was found that the infection rate fell from 3 percent to 0.05. The second: the "cluster" of Treviso, very fed (yesterday, 126 positive), it is almost exclusively hospitals", as 49 infected are health workers, and others are in-patients of the department of geriatrics of the hospital, then "it is mainly a cluster that does not affect the general population of the province". The third, also for the province of Venice the cases of positivity (132) "affect almost half of health-care workers".

Zaia proposes the removal of its provinces by the decree of the premier. Also because it reaffirms not been consulted before the definition of the final text. "The last contact with the Count was before midnight". The governor, who, from the Confindustria veneto, and the Anci local, asks for clarity of the rules. "To interpret this decree we want to, as a minimum, a circular implementation".

"The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence"
