“At Fondi today we have fifty positive cases out of a total of 40 thousand inhabitants. The decision to close the Municipality was taken out of prudence, thinking and knowing, also from the experience of the former red areas of Northern Italy, that a total closure of the revenues and of the exits is an extra security to stop the discomfort “. Thus, at the Adnkronos, Beniamino Maschietto, mayor for less than a month of the municipality in the province of Latina who has recorded 50 positive cases to date: a number that makes you think especially considering that throughout Lazio (which has 5.8 million inhabitants ) are 823.

“At a time where the trend is increasing we expected these restrictions from the Region and we partly shared them because we asked that at least the Mof (fruit and vegetable market) could continue to work – albeit with limited hours – because otherwise the economy of the whole city would have collapsed, as tourism has already done. At least we managed to achieve this – explains the mayor – Why close the town? Follow the issue, two plus two equals four and when you reach a level of 1 for a thousand positivity … The cases are mostly old, now we should be good at isolating their family members and those around them immediately. The closure will certainly also serve to ensure that those in quarantine or those who are carriers asymptomatic stay at home, to become aware of the responsibility of the moment, to be more serene, to make many young people and the elderly understand that they have been more imprudent, that you should not use cire “.
