The second wave convinced cities and regions, especially those where the curve has risen more than in others in recent days, to close again.
The Government tries in some way to coordinate the interventions, as the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte himself underlines: “The different strategy” of this second phase of the Covid contagion “also benefits from a very sophisticated monitoring system – he explains -” defining restrictive but localized measures. We must enter into the perspective that regional presidents and mayors may have at the territorial level where the critical situation becomes especially worrying ”. Viminale – now at the center of mediation with local authorities – a circular from the chief of staff, Bruno Frattasi, was sent to the prefects, providing some indications on the Dpcm’s implementation profiles on anti-covid measures. Among these, there is also the possibility of providing “a partial closure of streets or squares, that is, restricting access without totally prohibiting it, with the limitation of accesses”, or accesses in ‘limited number’. Mayors must inform both trade associations and interested citizens of the closure of squares and streets with risk of overcrowding with “adequate means of communication. There will be flexibility margins in meeting schedules and for controls, if necessary, the help of the army is also provided.
Some Regions, as it did yesterday Lombardy, request the consent of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, to “protect” themselves with respect to new measures of hardening and red zone. The idea is that of concertation and the greatest possible exchange of possible new measures to be taken, even at the territorial level: “by zone”. For now, we are not talking about extended blocking but, thanks also to what the latest dpcm allows, restrictive and localized closures, as it was decided to do. Piedmont region, which will put non-food malls off limits on weekends. For now, various solutions have also been undertaken by Lombardy and Campania, who have passed ordinances to proclaim the curfew from 11 to 5 in the morning.
Closures even in big cities, decisions that have been in the air for days: they will be for now streets and squares of the nightlife of Rome and Turin. The governor of Piedmont, Alberto Cirio, announced to his compatriots the stoppage of all the clubs at midnight and the closing of the shopping centers during the weekend, with the sole exception of the staple shops and pharmacies. Public spaces will then close at midnight, in line with what was announced by Palazzo Chigi, with the goal announced several times to avoid meetings. The Region also introduces, as of October 26, the obligation for the second to fifth grade of secondary school to follow digital distance education for at least 50% of the days, alternating with being in the classroom.
Even the Region Liguria will apply an ordinance similar to Piedmont’s in schools. The president of Liguria Giovanni Toti, in agreement with the Ministry of Health, will sign an ordinance that he will impose on Monday the total ban on meeting everywhere throughout the territory to block the growth of contagion.
The president of the Lombardy, Attilio Fontana should be able, also given the dispatch guaranteed by Rome and in particular by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, to initiate the curfew as of next Thursday, thus prohibiting everyone from leaving home unless a demonstrated need. ; at the same time, as mentioned, it will also close the shopping centers on Saturdays and Sundays.
The governor of Lombardy seems to follow in the wake of Lombardy Campania Vincenzo De Luca, who also announced a curfew, starting next Friday, again from 11 pm to 5 am For epidemiological data of the metropolitan area of Naples and in relation to the municipality of Arzano, the establishment of the red zone will be managed in the same Municipality of Arzano. This is what we learn from a note from the Regional Crisis Unit for the Covid emergency in Campania that anticipates the content of the next ordinances that are being studied by the Region. “We are preparing to ask for a curfew today. The blocking of all activities and mobility from this weekend, ”he explained. “We wanted to start from the last weekend of October, but let’s start now. At 11pm on Friday, everything closes in Campania as well, as we were asked to do in Lombardy as well,” commented De Luca, who nevertheless reopens primary schools from Monday . The Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese, confirmed to the governor the immediate dispatch of 100 soldiers to support the controls in the territory and comply with the anti-Covid ordinances.
Mayors are also very active. Schools and kindergartens in Sestu, in the metropolitan city of Cagliari as well as parking for babies, gyms, libraries and places equipped with games. Not only. Cultural and sporting events and all public and private events were also suspended until the 29th. The mini-closure decided by Mayor Paola Secci is linked to the upturn in Coronavirus cases, which went from 15 to 37 in a few days. Always at risk in cities, but especially in smaller centers, local markets or – in a few weeks – those dedicated to the Christmas festivities. This has already happened in Gorizia, where this year the usual Sant’Andrea Fair (both the market and the attractions) will not be held and the ice skating rink will not be installed in the central Piazza della Vittoria. The Christmas markets in South Tyrol have also been definitively canceled, as said by Governor Arno Kompatscher, who announced the closing of the bars at 11pm. and arcades at 6 pm There are no markets even in Trento, said Mayor Franco Ianeselli. The acceleration of infections leads municipalities to make drastic gestures, as happened in Altamura (Bari), where town halls and face-to-face committee meetings were canceled. And the works will continue only online. Altamura is currently one of the municipalities in Apulia with the most Covid infections: 260 people are in home isolation, 7 hospitalized. Finally, a mini-confinement in the Sorrento peninsula, where a strict control will be carried out until October 24 to eliminate possible infected.
