Ten thousand ten cases, fifty-five dead. Bulletin COVID-19 marks a new peak in the second wave of infections. And leads the government to imagine already in the next few hours a new national adjustment, only three days since the last dpcm which forces you to always wear a mask and prohibits parties.

Among the hypotheses we are discussing would be Mandatory smart work (in a percentage to be defined), the stop in events is a new grip in sport, between gyms and contact sports, as well as more staggered hours and more distance learning at school.

Among the ministers there are those who support, although Palazzo Chigi slows down, a kind of curfew, with all the locals. closed from 10pm or 11pm. Nothing is decided, also because two lines clash in government.

There are those, like M5 and Iv, who want to stay in this phase of greater prudence. And there are those who, like Pd and Leu, believe instead that we should act immediately, without delay, even with tougher measures “to avoid having to resort to confinement later.”

Giuseppe Conte, who until the end kept the summit on stand-by due to the new hardening requested by Dario Franceschini and Roberto Speranza, remains of the idea that the measures should be “Provided”: It will take the next few hours to evaluate it.

Meanwhile, the Regions they move in no particular order. New straits reach Campania, Lombardy, Piedmont. The government will seek greater coordination in a meeting called in the morning by Francesco Boccia with Speranza, Commissioner Domenico Arcuri and the governors.

Arcuri asks them to activate 1600 intensive care places for which the materials were sent. And Conte warns that “closing schools as a block is not the best solution.” She did it Vincenzo De Luca, drawing protests from mothers, school bus drivers and students.

The government, speculates the Minister of Education, Lucía Azzolina, could question that choice: “The students of Campania instead of being in class They are around the shopping centers“, Complain. The common line of the government is that schools should not be closed.

Some ministers speculate to strengthen the distance lessons (already possible now, in the autonomy of individual institutes) and stagger the schedules further, with classes also in the afternoon. But closing the classrooms completely, no.

The executive, warns Boccia, has already offered and continues to offer the Regions all possible support, but before going to school and work, responses must be given by activating all intensive care (“Where have the lung ventilators gone?”) And acting in other areas or each one “will assume responsibility for the effects.”

Although they are necessary new restrictive measures at the national level, to stop the rise of the curve, we invoked Franceschini and Speranza. The CTS, which had already advised staggering schedules to lighten transportation, is ready to meet to comment. THE

The head of the Pd delegation asks Conte A summit as soon as he returned to Rome from the Brussels European Council. The hypothesis is that it holds at night between Friday and Saturday, for a new dpcm already during the weekend.

But the prime minister is not unbalanced on the new measures, confirms the commitments of the agenda until late at night and still takes a few hours to evaluate. On what to do, in addition, his ministers do not agree. Some would like to re-apply restrictions similar to those in place in the early stages after the shutdown. The toughest would like more control of sports, even for children, and other activities considered unnecessary, as well as closing clubs and shops at 10pm, with a kind of curfew.

The Five Stars, defending what Azzolina did about the school and calling for “uniform transportation”, to avoid meetings.

In Italy there are more than one hundred thousand people positive for Coronavirus: with 10,010 new cases, compared to 8,804 on Thursday, of 150,377 swabs performed, with an increase in admissions to intensive care (52 more) and a growth of positives in relation to swabs (+ 6.6%). The regions with a contagion index higher than 1, explains the adviser to the Minister of Health, Walter Ricciardi, have been warned of “selective closures, which affect clubs, gyms, non-essential stores.” And smart work as an “ordinary way of working across the country.” To ensure safety in public transport.

The data from Lombardy are worrying, with 1,319 new cases in Milan. Conte rules out a closure for the city, but Attilio Fontana prepares new restrictive measures, with an early stop at bars and restaurants, staggered school hours and public transport interventions, a sports squeeze.

In Campania De Luca, in order “not to lose control in the Naples area”, he announces a curfew from 22 AD Halloween. In Piedmont since October 18 Alberto Cirio orders the night closing of all commercial activities, except pharmacies, from midnight to 5.
