“We are the state and if there are widespread reports of critical problems in health facilities in the city of Naples, we must give a signal.”. The prime minister said so Giuseppe Conte, as it became known, in the meeting with the heads of delegation of the ruling majority parties, the minister Francesco Boccia and the undersecretary of the prime minister Riccardo Fraccaro, in the Palazzo Chigi.

For Campania, inspections by ministerial inspectors are being completed, so for a decision on a possible transition from the yellow to orange or red zone, monitoring is expected on Friday. Government sources explain this at the end of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi. Meanwhile, however, the same sources add, “the government does not sit idly by: if there is tension in the sanitary facilities, measures are taken with the army and with the possibility of new Covid hotels in Naples”, point in the that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte would have listened to the head of civil protection Borrelli.

Again, according to qualified government sources, the position on dpcm from last week would be clear: “don’t touch it, it stays as is because it is working”. Consequently, the same sources exclude for now “new measures of a national character”.

Meanwhile, the evaluation schedule that could lead to other “orange” or “red” areas is postponed to Friday. Today the arrival of new data from the Regions, tomorrow the processing and Friday the evaluation procedure. This is the reiterated process, as learned, at the Prime Minister’s meeting. The option would continue to be to let the ordinances of the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza impose new squeezes in the Regions where the contagion data has worsened. Regarding the possibility of more restrictive measures, for example on the opening of shops on weekends, the decision would be postponed to the ordinances of the Regions, which can always adopt stricter measures than the national ones of the government.

The summit had been called for an update on the various issues at the center of the government’s agenda. Not only the Covid monitoring data, but also the budget law, which the government should send to Parliament within the week, and the Italian recovery plan.

For tomorrow at 10 am a new meeting of the prime minister with the heads of delegation of the majority parties and the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri, is scheduled. to the Covid emergency.

“In Naples the state must make its presence felt.” This was stated by the head of the M5S delegation Alfonso Bonafede, with reference to the health situation in the capital of Campania.
