Veneto, Liguria, Tuscany, Umbria, Campania and South Tyrol. These are the six regions that are eagerly awaiting the new data from the monitoring booth. The government leaks some predictions. Looking at the epidemiological curve, there should be no other territories to enter the red band. But those six dance between yellow and orange, and could be subject to new restrictive measures in a matter of days. But for the report we will have to wait at least until tomorrow.
The technicians who were supposed to meet today have postponed the presence to Sunday. As for tomorrow, the Scientific Technical Committee has also been convened. There is a problem with the collection of data that must make up the twenty-one indicators that will determine the new risk zones. “Some regions are more accurate and faster, others provide data late and bad,” accuses Walter Ricciardi, scientific advisor to the Ministry of Health.
“It is a problem that has been going on for months,” says a government source. Which explains that until the measures for the territory were deducted directly from the collection, the issue remained hidden, now it has exploded with violence. The follow-up that was supposed to be Friday was first postponed to Saturday, then further postponed for another twenty-four hours: “But we cannot afford to close territories with incomplete data.” This is also why there are those in the ministry and the CTS who pressed for the parameters to be reduced to six or seven, a hypothesis that did not find acceptance, generating some discontent.
There is a political question that runs parallel to the technique. “If the data had been processed and released on Friday, it would have created a paradoxical situation,” says an executive source. The one for which, after a few hectic days to define the first red zones, new ones should have been created the same day the first ones came into force. The predominant orientation is to start the new ordinances on Monday, but there are those in the government who would like to wait for the next monitoring, to give an orderly deadline from week to week. When receiving a message, no one talks about it from the Ministry of Health, concerned by figures that today have registered almost 40 thousand infections and 425 deaths. “The new data would be worse: Ricciardi interrupts the epidemic is having an exponential trend and we are seeing that the cases double every 15 days.
The controversy with the Regions does not yield. Today a new summit, which will allow Roberto Gualtieri to illustrate the Ristori-bis decree approved in the Council of Ministers overnight, during which Paola De Micheli announced the allocation of an additional 300 million for local public transport. Those present say that Nino Spirlì, regent in Calabria after the premature death of Governor Jole Santelli, organized a show. “We do not accept the commissioner, I am willing to go under the buildings to protest with the citizens, Hope must resign,” Spirlì thundered. So out of context as to receive a harsh reprimand from Stefano Bonaccini, but also coldness from the other center-right governors. “He does it because he wants Salvini to nominate him again,” suggests a government source, who says that, once the meeting was dissolved, the president of Calabria sent his regrets to those present.
But the situation in Calabria also affects the executive, who runs the risk of not escaping unscathed. A source from M5 explains that Cotticelli, the commissioner torpedoed directly by Conte yesterday, was appointed by the greenish-yellow government, but on the recommendation of Pierpaolo Sileri, current deputy minister of Health with 5 stars. Another piece that reverberates about the internal struggle within the pentastellati. Sileri is taking no chances, they say, hoping that the file will be closed as soon as possible.
