Milan, November 3, 2020 – The clearest was Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan: “To date, on the Lombardy Region side, there is no idea of going towards a March-April-style lockdown. And I share it ». Words that eliminate the scenarios and fears that arose during the last weekend, words spoken during the speech with which yesterday he informed the City Council about the content of the meeting he held with President of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, along with the other mayors of the capitals. The statements of Giorgio Gori, Mayor of Bergamo: “At the moment there is no talk of confinement.” And from Mauro Guerra, Lombard president of the National Association of Municipalities (Anci), who specified how the containment of Coronavirus infections will be carried out, from now to the next few hours, with “gradual measures that are not the blockade of March “.
Having said that, some more restrictions They will enter into force no later than Wednesday, others will be arranged from Wednesday. The measures that will come into force on Wednesday are those that will be included by the Government in the new decree that will be valid throughout the country. In detail, the decree will provide the travel ban, if not for reasons of health, work and proven need, already from 21 and no more after 11pm, as it has been until now. Even last night, the discussion about what should be the time of the start of the curfew, within the Government and between it and the Scientific Committee, was open, but the most plausible option is that of 21. Another measure valid in all parts is the reduction of the maximum allowed capacity of public transport, which will go from the current 80% to 50%. The decree will then result in the museum closure and the travel ban between Regions with a high contagion rate. So other measures that are already active in Lombardy as a result of the region’s ordinance, such as: the closure of shopping centers on weekends, the stop to gambling halls, betting, Bingo and slot machines in video wherever they are and the obligation, for secondary schools, to carry out 100% of the lessons remotely, precisely that obligation that Fontana introduced amid the protests of Lucía Azzolina, Minister of Education. According to rumors, the decree could provide for distance education also during the last two years of secondary school.
The measures that will come into force since Wednesday ahead are those in which the mayors, Anci and the governor they promised to face only a government decree. «Interlocutory meeting – this is how the Region defines yesterday’s meeting with the first citizens. The parties have left with the agreement to update themselves as soon as the Government’s measures are formalized. Before it would be impossible to make decisions. Among the additional measures that come to Lombardy is the compression or closure of the discovered markets, shared by several mayors. It has not finished. Yesterday the Government decided to adopt automatisms: the Regions will be divided into 3 risk scenarios, calculated based on 21 indicators including the contagion rate, and each scenario will have additional restrictions. The restrictions that can be gradually implemented are predefined, they are those listed in the report released by the Ministry of Health on October 12 and also include closures and red zones. But the choice of restrictions to adopt, among the possible ones, will be made together with the Regions. And the ordinance that follows will be signed by both the minister and the governor. However, a request unites Fontana and Sala, the Region and the mayors: that the refreshments for the categories affected from time to time by the restrictions also be automatic. Certainly the health data on which we will reason for the new grips will not be those of the last weeks but those of the scenario, referring to the next few days.
