Now the obligation of outdoor masks is taken for granted, as well as the arrival of new bans. But on what should be the impositions to stop the increase in coronavirus infections, the government has decided to deal with the Regions. And wait for suggestions from the opposition during tomorrow’s parliamentary debate, when the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza inform the content of the new Dpcm and will officially announce the request for an extension of the state of emergency until January 31, 2021. Within the Executive, in fact, there is a temptation to back down and prevent governors from issuing orders less restrictive than the line imposed by Palazzo Chigi. As it happened until last May. Due to the effect of the “second wave” of Covid-19, there is a fear that the increase in the epidemiological curve could put health structures in trouble. At the moment the situation seems to be under control, but the increase in hospitalized people convinces the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and ministers on the need to avoid a repeat of what happened this summer with the reopening of nightclubs and the relaxation of controls in nightlife venues. Re-grip, therefore, to avoid reverting to a locked situation.
The governors
The scheme is the one in force during Phase 1, when the premier signed the Dpcm and the Regions can only issue stricter provisions, never exceptions to national measures. On May 18, it was decided to return to the governors full powers of intervention – based on the trend of the curve and under their own responsibility – but with the worsening of the situation there was a strong temptation to back down. It is not an easy road, as the reaction of Giovanni Toti, who has just been elected leader of Liguria, shows. I would consider it intolerable to remove powers from the Regions as a result of the renewed confidence in the majority of the governors who have managed the Covid emergency. It would be a true democratic expropriation. The Regions have demonstrated skills, clarity and experience in the area, the local authorities have contributed decisively to the management of the emergency and the restart phase. Interventions led by those who know the area may be more effective than generalized measures that depress the economy with modest results on the epidemic front.
Outdoor masks
As is already the case in many Regions, the government will impose nose and mouth coverage on the streets throughout Italy. A measure considered necessary to avoid contacts too close to the exit of schools, but also outside public places where people crowd and often forget to keep their distance. The collection ban remains in force, as well as the will to intensify controls with the local police but also with the soldiers involved in the “Safe Roads” operation.
