"In Oristano, to date, as many as 5 infections of Nile Fever have been ascertained - write the mayor Sanna and the commissioner Zedda - It is necessary and urgent to know what measures and initiatives the Region has planned to counter the spread of the virus".
In recent days, the topic was at the center of a meeting of the Regional Crisis Unit which was also attended by Mayor Sanna and Councilor Zedda: "At that time, together with the other institutional subjects concerned, the seriousness of the of the situation and at the same time of the need to intervene promptly to protect public health. Considering the difficulties of the Province to ensure rapid and widespread intervention in public lands, but also the difficulty of intervening in private land, it is necessary that the Region plans a extraordinary pest control campaign on public and private land.
