Extension of the state of emergency due to the pandemic until January 31, 2021. Yesterday Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, after a meeting with the majority, broke the delay by announcing what had been on the air for days. And it couldn’t have been otherwise in light of the current landscape. Infections over 2500 in Italy, the rest of Europe under control. And the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, to better control this critical phase, intends to reestablish the daily monitoring between Civil Protection and the Regions.
Limit date
It was almost taken for granted that the government would continue on a path taken on January 31, 2020. The state of emergency, which expires on October 15, involves non-ordinary actions that, therefore, shorten procedures and spending times. Among other things, there are still the bodies created to respond to the Covid-19, extraordinary commissioner and technical scientific committee, and it is possible to resort to the dpcm (decrees of the presidency of the council of ministers) that have marked these months of anti-virus measures. “The situation continues to be critical, it requires the utmost attention,” argues the premier.
Prudence
The Minister of Health, in a visit to the Sanofi plant in Anagni where one of the candidate vaccines studied by the company in partnership with GSK will be filled, if given the green light, follows the line of “prudence and caution” by the that intends to advance. The showdown with the House and Senate begins Tuesday.
Controversy
Hard controversy. “Conte comes to Parliament and tells stories, not in the newspapers, he explains, we don’t know anything. There is no comparison in taxes and pensions, the only thing they coincide in is the electoral law, the last priority ”, urges the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini. Giorgia Meloni, president of the Brothers of Italy before the government “more opaque and less transparent in history” reproaches the lack “of a serious and certified study that justifies such an impressive provision.” The enlargement “is adequate if it is technical”, the governor of Liguria, Giuseppe Toti, sees it well.
The schools
It is in view of the data on the increase in cases that are not encouraging at all, but are expected as an effect of the reopening of schools, that the government must put another hand to another provision that expires, the dpcm of September 7. Obligations confirmed already in force, it could be reiterated that of wearing the mask outdoors in some circumstances, as in many Regions. “We are considering the possibility of adding new measures,” Speranza considers more aggressive measures. The decree will limit the participation of the public in sporting events, maximum 1000 people outdoors and 200 indoors. Any forward flight from individual Regions will be blocked with ad hoc ordinances.
The vaccine
We expect «another 7-8 tough months, which will be lived with a knife between our teeth, we will see the light in the first months of 2021 thanks to new tools to face the challenge of Covid. During the next year we will come out of the most dramatic phase. One of the tools is the vaccine. Sanofi has two under study, based on different techniques, now in phase 1-2 human trials.
Review
A third party would be needed to see if it protects against the virus. For another candidate in pole position The “first continuous review” procedure was launched yesterday by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the EMA (European Medicines Agency). It is the one developed by AstraZeneca in collaboration with the University of Oxford, whose experimental doses were prepared by the Italian IRBM. It is not a first green light, laboratory results are evaluated, not clinical ones, according to the rapid approval process.
