from French forum what a journalist wrote

Mario Alparone calls for HELP: "340 of our caregivers are positive and at home. Monza is overwhelmed by the growth of infections. We are now only accepting the seriously ill. I need the reinforcement of the army and the civil protection".

Lombardy (where Monza is located) is considered "red zone" since quite some time, so it's not a surprise nor something that happened out of nowhere... but as things went so far, I suppose FIA will just wait for Monza to be cancelled and be done with it?

Rally di Como has run during last weekend when Lombardy is already considered as red zone. ~ 200 crews on the start list. Of course, COVID situation can get worse each 2-3 days, so we can only wait and hope.

Monza is scheduled just at the end of the lockdown for red zones. Italy is allowing major rallies as" sport events of national relevance". Wrc will be good IF lockdown works and there will be an improvement (or at least stabilization) of covid spread in the next 2 weeks. ATM can happen, like Como especially with people in lockdown, no public issue.

So, Monza Circuit is now check point for those suspected of having COVID.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

No M-Sport test for Monza as their season is basically over and budget needs to the saved for next year.

Not a big deal. It's just a drive trough test for ambulances, instead of doing it in hospital ER, so they send to hospital only people in need. Nothing more than a gate and a tent.Don't think it will mean any issue for circuit activity
