Coronavirus Italy, Brussels joint mission of the european Centre for disease and the Who News

the BRUSSELS Europe is "worried" for the spread of the Coronavirus in Italy and is ready to help our authorities to tackle the problem. At the request of the government, the european Commission will be able to coordinate the arrival from other Countries of the Union of doctors, laboratories, experts and medicines. Meanwhile, tomorrow in Brussels will start a joint mission of the european Centre for diseases (Ecdc) and the world health Organization (Who) to follow closely the development of the outbreaks in our Country. Today the Ecdc has raised the level of risk from the Coronavirus in Europe, from low to "moderate-high", even if in Brussels there is full confidence in the management of the crisis by the Italian government: "I Want to commend the quick response and professional of your authority," he stressed in the morning, the european commissioner for the Management of the crisis, Janez Lenarcic.

Your Lenarcic together with colleague Stella kyriakides makes (Health) has announced a package of $ 230 million in financial aid in the battle to the virus. Originally, the cheque would have to be targeted to stop the spread of infection in Africa, but after the alarm, in Italy the money will also be used within the Union. Half will go to the research for the vaccine. Brussels calls on european governments to respond to the crisis in a manner "coordinated". The thought immediately goes to the possibility that the other Registries, such as those of France and Austria, suspend Schengen to our borders, damaging further the Italian economy and damaging the diplomatic relations between Eu partners.

"At the moment," he explained, "in the morning, the Commission – we have not had requests for the suspension of the Schengen treaty but remember that all decisions must be made based on a rigorous scientific assessment, must be proportionate and coordinated". The message is clear: for reasons of health and public safety, the government can restore the border controls. Brussels would like to avoid it but can't proibirlo and hopes that the capitals will have recourse only in case of real need. Not the case Lenarcic has responded to a question on the attacks on the government of Matteo Salvini – which, moreover, yesterday defended the request for Marine Le Pen to bring up the border between France and Italy – stating that "to use the situation for political purposes would be regrettable". Of course the judgement applies to Salvini, which uses the crisis for the purposes of internal consensus, but also to other extremist europeans who were to attack Italy from the outside. He added kyriakides makes: "we must Not give in to panic and disinformation".

"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"
