It is not a real curfew, not even a real night shutdown. Four areas of Genoa destined to become “orange” soon, where everything that is not economic activity or concerns private housing will be prohibited: two areas within the historic center, one part of Sampierdarena, Certosa. The “squeeze” announced by the governor of the Liguria region, Giovanni Toti, and by the mayor Marco Bucci, translates into a half closure, while the contagion figures in Liguria and especially in the capital skyrocket like never before.

To put it in the words of the mayor, from 9 pm to 6 am “you can only circulate if you go to a specific business, restaurant or bar.” ‘Playful’ access can only be allowed if you go to an indoor or outdoor tent, but with seats. “Something very similar in Liguria has already been seen in La Spezia, in the Umbertino district: at that time the shops had remained open but the customers, frightened by the contagion figures, had disappeared.

The measure, including exceptions and clarifications (think visits to the homes of friends and family) will be discussed today with the minister. of Interior Luciana Lamorgese and with the prefect of Genoa Carmen Perrotta. But the go-ahead is obvious: “Intensive control safeguards in these areas will be possible to monitor access, but they will not be true uniformed checkpoints. We know that we are making difficult decisions, but the more we adapt to these rules and the sooner we get out of this situation, we cannot afford any more laxity.

Liguria, new spikes of infections: +907 of 6,062 swabs. Tampons arrive by car in Valpolcevera


If in Genoa the growth of infections is now exponential, even in the rest of the provinces the trend is worrying. And then President Toti decided, with an order signed last night, to extend the rules already in force to the entire region. in a part of Genoa: therefore, from 12 o’clock today the “absolute ban on meetings and the ban on public and private events” comes into force. The activities of game rooms, betting rooms and bingo rooms “are allowed from 5 to 18”. It was decided “to close the cultural and social centers and recreational leisure clubs, allowing bar and restaurant services exclusively from 5 to 24 in full compliance with the specific guidelines.”

Toti says that “you can leave home, walk from home to work, but it is forbidden to park more than one person outdoors. We need the maximum rigor and the maximum attention ».

Toti’s appeal
All of this serves to reverse a trend that has become truly worrying in Genoa and Liguria, leading the president to use words spoken in the worst days of the first wave of infections last spring: “We try to affect and intervene in the contagion curve. Far from having problems with the bed today, we desperately need the help of all of you to avoid blocking all health interventions again to turn it into a huge and gigantic Covid rescue area. So to allow all activities “Carry on. This requires reducing the number of people hospitalized.”
