The die is cast: on Tuesday the government will launch a new dpcm, the third in three weeks, with a series of new restrictive measures that will apply to the entire national territory, but will identify three bands of epidemiological risk, to provide a general framework. to a round of additional locks in areas where the epidemic is manifesting itself on a larger scale. With two nodes still open but in the process of being resolved: what kind of mobility to allow between Regions and what time to set the curfew.
Let’s go in order. Giuseppe Conte illustrated the content of the new dpcm to Parliament today for the first time before adopting it. Announcing a series of interventions that can be summarized as: possibility of 100% distance learning for all professional colleges and institutes, closing of shopping centers on holidays and before holidays, closing of rooms and those dedicated to bingo, as well as dedicated spaces to these activities in tobacconists, stops in museums and exhibitions, maximum public transport capacity limited to 50%.
Then the prime minister added two other elements: the limit on travel to and from high-risk regions and “limits on the movement of people at the end of the night.” These are the two chapters still open that remain on the field after two days of high intensity confrontation. This morning Roberto Speranza and Francesco Boccia met for the umpteenth time with the Presidents of the Regions. And once again the protests of those presidents like Vincenzo De Luca, Attilio Fontana and Michele Emiliano have continued to fight for the need for incisive and homogeneous measures for all to end the race of the virus. However, there are many presidents, such as the Melonian Marco Marsilio, who have spoken in favor of a diversification of the regulations, so as not to penalize excessively those areas of the country where infections are still controlled and hospitals withstand the pressure well. Unanimous push for all categories affected by the new restrictions to receive help in a very short time. Conte is evaluating a new budget variance, possibly to share with the opposition, because the money allocated in the Ristori decree is no longer enough at this time.
In any case, the government has promised to formulate a draft of the provision, which will be sent for a round of exchange and observations between Monday night and Tuesday morning to all the governors. The opinion of the Scientific Technical Committee, convened for tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. (but it is not excluded that the meeting may be brought forward in the morning), will be the last step before approval.
The orientation that currently prevails is to prohibit travel only between those Regions that will enter the third risk band, according to an indicator that takes into account the contagion index (Rt) combined with twenty-one different parameters, including the number of symptomatic cases, hospitalizations, RSA cases, percentage of positive swabs, mean time between symptoms and diagnosis, number of new outbreaks, bed occupancy based on actual availability. There are currently twelve suspect regions: Aosta Valley, Piedmont, Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige, Liguria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna, Umbria, Lazio, Molise, Puglia and Calabria, with Campania in grave danger. “It is not excluded – a government source trusts – that only those municipalities or provinces with a particularly critical situation can be declared red zones, whose indicators greatly contribute to boost the risk index of the entire Region.”
A drop point in curfew has yet to be found. The rigorous part of the government and the governors press for 8 at night, some of them had started from an initial idea even more tetragonal, at 6 in the afternoon. A position that found the center-right presidents of the North and living Italy radically opposed. also in the introduction of the Sunday closing obligation for restaurants. The compromise being worked on would set the stop at 21, a currently highly probable hypothesis.
Conte wants to wait for tomorrow’s data for the final decision, but the tense situation is palpable in a blame game in which the Quirinal also intervened. Sergio Mattarella has somehow taken the direction of what in many ways has been a dialogue between the deaf. Today he met with Bonaccini and Toti, hoping for an effective and concrete collaboration between institutions, tomorrow he will meet with Roberto Fico and Elisabetta Casellati, on the issue of the relationship between the government and the opposition that, despite some very timid advances in the parliamentary debate, stakeholders have done it all. wear away.
