AGI – New data on the coronavirus epidemic are cause for great concern. Tomorrow there will be an urgent meeting of the technical-scientific committee called to express itself on the new containment measures after the rebound in infections in recent days. The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, will attend the summit that this morning, in Piazza del Popolo, at the CGIL demonstration ‘Health: public and for all!’, however, he tried to reassure everyone. “My goal,” he explained, “is to avoid the adoption of more drastic measures to contain the epidemic that obviously have a social and economic cost, that impact people’s lives.”
The reality is that in any case there will be new restrictions: “We have already done some,” Speranza admitted, “we will evaluate others in these hours. We have permanent meetings with our scientific world and we have political meetings in the next few hours. It is clear that for me it is necessary. to have the strength to take charge of this new stage immediately. We need even stronger coordination with the regions and to evaluate the epidemiological evolution hour after hour “.
Therefore, a complicated future awaits us. “The next few months will be difficult – Speranza admitted – although we are not like other European countries, such as France, Great Britain and Spain, which have many more cases every day. But the circulation of the virus is still significant, so we have to raise the level of the guard. The mandatory masks even outdoors is a first option that goes in this direction ”.
And although soon (“I think from early 2021”) there will be encouraging news about the treatments and the vaccine, Speranza has invited everyone to “resist.” “We need a contribution from everyone. It is a necessary, indispensable cost, because we cannot undermine the sacrifices made so far,” added the minister, who later explained: “We must learn from these difficult months. The National Health Service has endured and today it is called to a new test that will require the commitment of all ”. Health care “must be the first brick in the reconstruction of the country.” “We need a great ‘Pacto País’ and the CGIL – Speranza concluded – must be part of it. Today we can imagine a health reform with more resources. This has not been the case in the past. It is an extraordinary opportunity that we must not miss ”.
Government working on the new Dpcm
Meanwhile, the government is working on a new Dpcm of measures to combat the pandemic, after three days ago the Council of Ministers immediately implemented the obligation to wear masks even outdoors, if it is close to people who do not live together. . The measure will be adopted before October 15, to confirm and update current regulations.
In the afternoon, a summit was convened again between Conte and the majority heads of delegation, with Minister Boccia. The executive’s objective is to prevent a return to the acute phase of the pandemic and a new confinement, but if necessary, more restrictive measures than the current ones could be adopted.
The scenarios, depending on what is deduced from the different hypotheses, are three, depending on the manageability of the virus. Therefore, we could move on – this is the first scenario – to strengthen the distancing with local ‘red zones’, smart jobs and school closings based on the number of registered infections. A ‘squeeze’ accompanied by the contraction of the opening hours of discos and bars and restaurants, and of the ways of serving them. For example, in regards to outdoor parking, that might be prohibited.
But there is also the hypothesis of a travel ban between regions and a reduction in the number of hours of face-to-face school classes.
A series of precautions that, according to rumors, could re-involve the maximum number of guests for ceremonies such as weddings, but also for simple dinners in private homes.
