If the number of Covid patients in intensive care surpasses 2,300, the government could adopt the closure of non-essential activities and a travel ban between Regions. Corriere della Sera talks about the new alarm level.
Palazzo Chigi currently excludes it, although a threshold has been set within the executive: 2,300 people in intensive care.
The government collaborates with the Regions following a common strategy, based on the Rt index of the different areas.
The Istituto Superiore di Sanità on crisis scenarios has already identified the “high” level, the worst, in three consecutive weeks of Rt above 1.5.
The big concern is related to hospitals and the availability of beds and intensive care. Among the structures that endure and others in trouble, the average age of people with severe symptoms, Corriere stresses, has fallen.
Yesterday there were 926 people admitted to intensive care, a week ago, on October 14, there were about half, 539. This is the alarming number and interventions are being modulated on this. With the conviction that more than 2,300 people in serious conditions the system runs the risk of collapse.
There is talk of the closure of some activities such as game rooms, gyms and swimming pools. Although in recent days Nas controls have shown compliance with the protocols. In the meantime, measuring the temperature and staggering the inputs might be mandatory.
Then the chapter on shopping malls: some Regions have already decided to keep them closed for the weekend. If the positivities curve continues to rise, the government could extend this measure to the entire national territory. However, leave grocery stores and pharmacies open, as Lombardy has already done.
And the prohibition of travel between Regions is evaluated, except in cases of proven work, health or other emergencies. Another objective is to enforce the rules, in particular those relating to the curfew, which begins at 23:00 or 12:00, in a uniform manner.
