The news of the week

Milan, 26 June - Open data: the Milan of the Covid-19 emergency told through numbers, graphs and percentages. “Milano Help…in numbers” is the mirror of what was done during the months of lockdown: from the hours of the Council, City Council and Commissions to the number of masks, gloves, sanitizing gels and other individual devices delivered to citizens. From emergency meals, shopping vouchers and medicines brought to the homes of the most vulnerable people to tablets and PCs delivered to schools by the local police. A dashboard within everyone's reach and with just one click.

WeMi: the new portal was presented. Fifty participating organisations, thirty-five educational services, twenty-eight psychological services, twenty-three social welfare services, eight Italian language courses, four accompaniment services with transport, thirteen services for small errands and nine for processing paperwork. These are some of the numbers of the new platform, through which citizens will not only be able to discover the welfare services that the city offers, free or paid, individual or shared, but also purchase them directly from the portal.

Stradarte: bookings on the street artists platform are restarting, thanks to the ordinance that establishes the rules for carrying out performances in total safety. The performers will be able to return to fill the silence of the streets and will have to organize the spaces in such a way as to avoid gatherings and ensure that the distance between themselves and the public is maintained.
