Coronavirus, the Second wave is “officially arrived“. He is convinced of it. The messenger, as well as many experts who have spoken in recent days to give their opinion state of the pandemic in Italy (like the Italian association of hospital anesthetists who launched theintensive care status alarm).
The numbers of these days, however, confirm that we can no longer talk about “long wave of the first wave“As the data on infections increases so fast it makes us think more about a second wave.
So what will change now? The Government will inevitably have to introduce new restrictions and he will do it with him DPCM scheduled for October 15. The masks decree has already provided stricter rules, thereby mandatory in almost all circumstances, but with the following provision there will be restrictions to prevent them from being created meetings, still too prevalent in nightlife.
And in these hours we begin to speak of confinement again; the government keeps saying it absolutely wants avoid central locking, but it is not excluded that localized measures may exist. In fact, it appears that for some regions this measure may only be a matter of days or at most weeks.
Second wave: which regions are at risk of a new blockade
the newsletter on Covid-19 infections scares: yesterday they were registered 5,372 new cases compared to 28 dead. With these numbers in recent months we were in foot closure, but it must be said that then the situation in intensive care was different from the current one.
Government excludes the possibility of a new national blockadeBut you are beginning to look closely at the trend of infections in some regions. In detail, as explained The messenger, above all, the situation in Campania, where 769 new cases were registered yesterday, of which 63 were hospitalized in intensive care. Another region of concern is the Lombardy, already the epicenter of the first wave of the pandemic: 983 new infections have been registered here. The third Region that keeps the Government on alert is the Lazio, but here it seems that we are far from the hypothesis of a closure.
For Campania and Lombardy, the Government is thinking about it, as confirmed The messenger. This is not an immediate decision, but this route is not precluded if the number of infections continues to increase at this rate in the coming weeks.
New regional border closure: Minister Boccia’s hypothesis
While evaluating the possibility of introducing new restrictions – as the regional Governors are already doing – in the areas most affected by the second wave of the coronavirus, the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, admitted that he is also thinking about close the borders of the Regions considered most at risk.
On the other hand, in Lazio they complain that every day around 10,000 travelers from Campania arrive in the capital; an out-of-control situation that could require the closure of borders.
In this regard, Minister Boccia stated:
Travel restrictions between regions cannot be ruled out, nothing can be ruled out at this time. We must defend work and health at all costs. Mobility between regions must be safeguarded, but the situation must be monitored on a day-to-day basis. As soon as a warning light comes on, action must be taken.
Strong words, which Boccia later partially retracted saying that no need to raise concerns at the moment also because regional health networks work well. However, it is a possibility, with new limitations to move in and out of these Regions that could be a reality in the coming weeks.
