ROME. It has passed the 10,000 mark and there are more than 100,000 positive people. The gong of a new grip sounds to stop this unstoppable drift: the government meets in a night summit where Conte, ministers and heads of delegation evaluate a total curfew from 10 pm to 6 am throughout Italy.
On the table, however, there are two options: avoid anyone going out at night, even go with friends. Or, as seems more likely, only public places close after 10pm to block out the nightlife. In the total lockdown of the night, the prime minister slows down and wants to hear the opinion of the Regions on everything, before launching a Dpcm tonight with immediate effect. The confrontation in the government with the criminals lasted until late at night and will be dissolved today.
But the hardening also applies to school and work: in the Dpcm there should be an expansion of compulsory smart work, to a measure of more than 50%. Even if a decree law was needed for this. The Five Stars threaten to blow the table if distance education is imposed in schools instead. The Democratic Party also fears leaving families hostage to their children, especially putting working women in trouble. So we’ll head toward staggering one or two hours of classroom entrances to lighten the load on public transportation.
CTS scientists also suggested closing risky businesses, such as gyms, hair salons, movie theaters and theaters. But it could only happen in the worst affected regions: Conte and Gualtieri are perplexed, as then cash would have to be turned to help already depleted sectors.
However, the government intends to do everything together with the governors, after the controversy with De Luca over the two-week closure of schools in Campania. This morning the Regions will be brought together by Minister Boccia to take stock and indicate their civil protection needs. “There is no time to lose, it is time to decide and march together”, is the spur of Nicola Zingaretti at the premierer.
Stop in the DIY regions
meMeanwhile, however, infections are increasing and the Regions continue to move on their own. Piedmont lowers the blinds on retail stores from midnight to 5 a.m., except for drug stores. Governor Alberto Cirio’s order also prohibits the sale of alcohol after 9 pm, unless it is consumed at the table. But soon there will also be red zones where the incidence of infections exceeds the alert level.
Lombardy is particularly beset by anxiety. CTS experts in government have advised shutting everything down for at least two weeks. But Fontana’s ordinance stops earlier: farewell to the aperitif ritual, from 6 pm the spirits of the bar can only be consumed at the table and at 9 pm everything closes. For restaurants, the curfew begins at midnight. Amateur teams will be able to continue training but without facing the rival on the field. Because youth teams also stop training. Green light to gyms. It will be seen whether the measures can quickly keep up with the epidemic.
Clash in the two scenarios
A Requesting the emergency summit of the Covid was the head of the delegation of the Democratic Party, Dario Franceschini, who together with Speranza defends the line in favor of perhaps even unpopular initiatives, which are capable of avoiding a generalized closure. And here is the clash that takes place in the two different scenarios: a curfew for everyone from 9 pm or 10 pm to 6 am What would in fact introduce a night lockdown: except those who work in sectors that work at night, all the others would necessarily stay at home. The second scenario would only affect the places with the highest risk, bars, restaurants, pizzerias and public establishments. But it would allow people to go for a walk, to go to a friend’s house or to the movies.
In fact, in this case, even cinemas and theaters, which so far have not been a hotbed of new infections, would remain open, according to the already established rules that establish the obligation of masks in the room. Also possible are national measures involving gyms and amateur sports, which have so far been spared. But the reflection within the government is simple and the clash in the two lines is bitter: the total curfew is easily controlled – say those who take penalties – the partial is not.
Staggered hours
The antidote to the lonely movements of governors is the staggering number of hours spent entering schools. It should be implemented in some large cities, the hypothesis is to have the classrooms open one or two hours later, in order to solve the risk situation of public transport. Boccia was in charge of trying to convince Azzolina. The staggering of admissions would not affect countries and provinces, except where necessary, and would require maximum flexibility, since the mayors would decide it together with the school leaders.
