Suspension of all events or meetings, in public or private places. Restaurants, bars and pubs open, but only with table service, reserved for members of the same family (or relatives), respecting the distance of one meter between one client and another. Stop for visits to social and health establishments, except for extraordinary needs, subject to evaluation by the management of the nursing home. Prohibition of the use of games for children, in public gardens and villas and public transport with limited numbers, with only 100% usable seats. A mini lock, to prevent the situation from escalating. This is the plan that the Region is evaluating, according to the La Spezia City Council – where the vast majority of cases are concentrated – to stop the recent wave of infections that occurred in the Far Eastern province of Liguria.

None of these measures were taken yesterday, even based on the latest round of data, which are partly reassuring. “We have 26 new cases in La Spezia – explained yesterday the President of the Region, Giovanni Toti – they are significantly less than the day before. The most sensitive data continues to be that of hospital admissions ”. Yesterday there were 96 people hospitalized throughout Liguria, with a decisive contribution from the La Spezia area: 64, with 10 more patients than the day before yesterday (19 in Liguria) and six people in intensive care. “We are thinking about different possible measures,” added the governor. Among these, the prince could be the lack of reopening of schools, only in the province of La Spezia, as a precaution. “It is one of the initiatives that we are evaluating but not how Region or as mayor, we have made any decision in this regard ”.

The situation in La Spezia is the only one causing concern. And it’s the only one you’re considering a more structured plan for. After the limitations introduced in recent days, the regional working group coordinated by Alisa, after analyzing the trend of infections, saw the Asl 5 territory clearly detach itself from the rest of the provinces, where instead the framework is different from tranquility over the past few months, but essentially under control. What is worrying is the incidence of cases in relation to the population, as well as the severity of the symptoms, which, after months, have put pressure on the hospitals again.

The goal of epidemiologists is, as always, to break the chain of contagion, which in some cases presents patients who are not clearly connected to each other. Because while it is true that a root was found to the multiplication of cases following the movements of some citizens of foreign origin who moved between Liguria and Tuscany, where they participated in some meetings and common occasions, it is equally true that not all the positive aspects they are explainable with this matrix. The last word is from politics and the president of the Region Giovanni Toti, who has already revealed the desire not to tighten the shirts more than necessary..
