“I am not opposed to the government asking us for one more effort for the good of all”: yesterday the president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti, certified yesterday on a live Facebook about the emergency of the coronavirus the situation of his territory, it could end soon. in the orange zone. The governor, who in previous weeks had been among the most militant in the local authorities’ revolt against the government over the yellow, orange and green areas, seems to have changed his mind on everything.
The regions likely to end up in the orange zone
In fact, he says that he has always thought of it this way: “We also had doubts about the choice to put Liguria among the Regions in the yellow zone due to the risk of Covid, because the pressure on hospitals, especially in the metropolitan area of Genoa, it is very strong, because the number of infections is very high, but we also have an Rt index that is decreasing, the hospitalization curve is high but flat. The analysis of the data is left to the judgment of the man. ”The change course occurs after the Civil Protection bulletin certified yesterday that the number of new daily infections in Italy is inexorably approaching 40 thousand with the total of currently positive that breaks the wall of 500 thousand (to be exact 532,536), which which raises the positivity rate to 17.1%. Almost a third come from the “red” Lombardy, where the positivity rate reaches 25%. That is, one in four people who undergo smears test positive. Only in milan , there are 1,758 new cases. Campania, on the other hand, runs the risk of even jumping from the yellow to the red zone.
There are six regions towards the orange zone and soft lock – here are which ones
Today the control room for the emergency meets and, therefore, the ordinances of the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza are expected in the following 24 hours: five regions (in addition to Liguria under the lens are Campania, Veneto, Tuscany and Umbria) and the province The autonomous of Bolzano risk the passage to the orange zone from the yellow one. But why exactly is the Toti region under the lens? Daily fact He adds that according to the data that came to the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Liguria has an incidence of 728 positives per 100,000 inhabitants, lower only than that of the Aosta Valley and Lombardy, which have been declared red zones.
The RT was at 1.35 according to the last monitoring of the control room that stops on October 25, and therefore it was in scenario 3 which means orange zone, like Puglia and Sicily. Calabria, for its part, is in the red zone because the contagion index was at 1.84, while Piedmont and Lombardy were above 2. Then there is the problem of monitoring: the start date of the positive symptoms of the coronavirus comes only for 49.4% of cases and this carries the risk of underestimating the Rt. Then there are the hospitals that suffer: Liguria has occupied 70% of the places in ordinary hospitals and 37% of intensive care ( thresholds are 40% and 30%).
Campania, Liguria and the others: what changes with the orange zone
Which regions are likely to end in the orange zone
The newspaper, however, explains that from this point of view the regions above the threshold are many: Emilia-Romagna (45% in ordinary rooms and 31% in resuscitation), Lombardy (69% and 49%) Marche (47 % and 37%), Piedmont (93% and 46%), Alto Adige (98% and 55%), Trentino (44% and 33%), Umbria (49% and 51%), Valle d’Aosta (89% and 43%). Lazio in ordinary wards is 44%, Puglia 30% in intensive care. Then there is Campania, where RT explodes in some provinces such as Naples, Caserta, Avellino, Benevento and Caserta. Tuscany also has five provinces among the worst affected in Italy. But the territorial blockades, Minister Speranza explained yesterday, are the responsibility of the governors and not the ministry. That it can only close the regions on its own. .
Toti’s change of course for Liguria comes after the Genoa Prosecutor’s Office, which had opened a file of information on the patients who were waiting in ambulances, announced the opening of an investigation: “We are verifying what has been sent to the ministry”. della Salute – a research source explained to several newspapers – and if they correspond to the reality of our territory ”. The second candidate is Campania: Italo Giulivo, coordinator of the regional crisis unit, told Ansa: “Campania is a yellow zone because the government has interpreted the data on the situation as of October 25, when it was better, because we had taken more restrictive measures than the rest of the country. The government fixes the color of the risk strip by looking in the rear-view mirror and this means that we have worked well on prevention. But I think that with the analysis of the new data we could become the orange zone and that would confirm our concerns. I would be perplexed if we stayed in the yellow zone. ” The others will follow. Although today, November 9, the president of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti opposes Radio Capital: “From what I can see from the data, there has been no worsening between one government report and another on Liguria, we know it well. that the city of Genoa is in a situation of special pressure on the hospitals, that is why I think we should discuss. ”And again:“ Regarding the data, absolutely everyone returns, but especially with regard to the Ministry of Health: in the last report, the data is considered absolutely reliable and some indicators with a precision superior to 90%. – he stresses – That said, if someone wants to come and see the data, the Prosecutor’s Office is welcome, they have my respect.
We are in the relationship between institutions. It would be a very serious crime to give false data and I believe that in the correct relationship between institutions, the Regions must necessarily give correct data. So, also on the part of the control room, there is a moment of study, verification and control. ”Said the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, guest of ‘In half an hour more’ on Rai3 about the possibility that the Regions communicate incomplete or incorrect data on the spread of the coronavirus. “Our data is public and we have also approved a standard to strengthen this process,” he continued. “The choices made by the control room, with the Regions that share the path that we have shared”, are based on data that “by law we are obliged to publish”, including the 21 criteria used to indicate the risk of each Region. which are then integrated with the Rt index scenarios. “The data comes from the Regions, they feed the ISS database and through this processing the control room offers us the final data. Based on these data I sign the ordinances”, he added Speranza.
“All Italy must be the orange zone”
What changes from yellow zone to orange zone
As we have explained, in the yellow zone “it is also allowed to travel outside the Region, as long as the neighboring Regions are in the same moderate risk zone. In any case, it is strongly recommended to all natural persons, throughout the day , do not travel “. , by means of public or private transport, except for reasons of work, study, health, situations of need or to carry out activities or use non-suspended services “.
The capacity of public transport is reduced by half to 50% and museums, exhibitions, games corners and bingo (in bars and tobacconists) are closed. In the yellow zone and in the orange zone “the shopping centers (are) closed on holidays and before the holidays, but the food stores, pharmacies, parapharmacies and kiosks located inside will remain open” and there is “distance learning 100% for all upper secondary and third grade high school students “; apart of this:
- in the orange zone, “any movement in and out of the Regions is prohibited, except movements motivated by proven labor needs or situations of need or for health reasons”;
- in the orange and red areas “bars, restaurants, discos, pubs, ice cream parlors and pastry shops” are “always closed, but they can continue to sell take-out (until 10pm) or deliver it to your home”;
- always in the orange and red zones the stores are “closed, except for the sale of food and basic necessities, both in the neighborhood stores and in the medium and large distribution, also included in the centers”. commercial;
- even markets are “closed, except for activities for the sale of food only”;
Finally, Repubblica reports that in recent weeks the working group led by Commissioner Domenico Arcuri has requested an account of the use of the material sent to the Regions. And in particular of the respirators sent to Lombardy: after the first phase, in the summer, they seemed to have disappeared only to reappear recently.
That something is wrong is obvious. “There are yellow regions with lines at the emergency rooms and red regions where the situation is more manageable,” says a government source. Calabria again: the night of the signing of the last Dpcm, the number of intensive therapies reported dropped suddenly by 13 units.
