In the end, the board postpones the decision for 24 hours. After the opinion of the Technical-Scientific Committee -which proposed the suspension for three weeks of lessons in secondary schools and universities, the reduction to 50 percent of the places in public transport, the stop to the activities of restaurants and pubs at 23 hours and the closure of the bingo halls – the president of the Nello Musumeci Region and his government postpone the decision: the board discussed until night the opportunity to adopt these measures after a dramatic day from the point of view of contagions (they were 796, an absolute record, with 8 deaths and 6 new intubated), debating for a long time especially about the measures related to transport.
In the end, some clarifications were requested from the CTS: “President Musumeci – anticipates the regional health councilor Ruggero Razza late at night – will work on an organic measure. In the morning. The idea is to adopt containment measures. We looked at the proposals and asked for some ideas. “
Covid Sicily, CTS experts call for a closure: “Close schools and universities, buses and trains with seats in the middle”
by Claudio Reale and Giorgio Ruta
The proposals to which Razza refers are the ten pages of opinion of the CTS. Which, for example, proposes a stop to face-to-face classes for older students for three weeks, giving way to distance learning. A massive evaluation of staff and students would make it to high school, while in college they would still move on to distance learning.
For restaurants, in addition to closing at 11 pm, the establishment of the “orange zones” would arrive: areas where contagion is very high but still below the maximum alert level. In that case the closings of the premises would be triggered at 9:00 p.m., while in the red zones it would be necessary to lower the blind tout court.
Buses could occupy up to 50 percent of seats, while bingo halls and betting centers should be closed. The last word is now up to Musumeci. But the hour of the restrictions is also about to arrive in Sicily.
