Tomorrow morning the control room will meet, followed by the Scientific Technical Committee. There is no certainty about the press conference to illustrate the new follow-up on which new restrictive measures will depend for some of the Regions. Tomorrow the confirmation of the day and time will be communicated. The specter of another postponement, another mess after last week’s, overshadows the new closings.
It is probably not a coincidence that Emilia Romagna, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, although in agreement with the government, have decided to act alone, issuing three coordinated ordinances to anticipate the times and activate at least some of the measures planned for the orange zone in the first place. . These are the three Regions that began to leave the yellow zone and go one step further, passing through the next. In the morning the government leaked that the specific ordinances should not have started before Saturday, a forecast that in the afternoon was destined to crack before a new difficulty to collect complete and exhaustive data and put it in a system.
An executive source explains that a reflection on Umbria is also taking place, even if the central Italy region should finally remain orange. But it is above all the fate of Campania that is at stake in these hours. The government, after having deliberated a greater involvement of Civil Protection and the army to help the health system of Naples in great difficulty (and being attacked by a Vincenzo De Luca who considered the hypothesis of setting up a field hospital in the same way de lese majestad), today a decision was made together with the Conference of the Regions to launch at least one Covid hotel per province to decongest the hospitals of those patients who do need to be hospitalized but require less treatment. But the measure will not be enough, at least in the short term, to decongest the situation in Campania, with the Region in danger of finding itself in the red zone in a few days.
Before De Luca’s protest, the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, during the videoconference held in the afternoon, urged the governor: “If you want to adopt stricter measures, we support you,” an invitation that was quickly taken by the governor who prepares to organize red zones in some areas of the capital and in the most affected municipalities in the area. Italy is now configured as a babel of measures and restrictions: the yellow, orange and red zones planned at the national level are flanked by regional ordinances, in which the measures taken at the municipal level are in turn grafted. Rome and Florence are preparing to prohibit or stagger the entrance to streets and squares generally with a high traffic density, Verona has even established one-way pedestrian streets, Palermo a kind of restricted traffic zone for the center and the coastal areas and has closed schools. .
For the government, the slowdown in the growth of infections is in any case a positive sign, as a result of the measures adopted in the last two dpcm. “Those who say from the sofas that we are late do not have honest eyes, a free mind and do not know mathematics,” said emergency commissioner Domenico Arcuri with what is now becoming a habitual evil communicative grace. Licenses of the faculty of criticism, the Commissioner has also exposed a series of indicators that he considers detectors of a situation that, if it does not improve, at least consolidates: “The figures are growing ten times less than a month ago, 94.8 % of those infected are in home isolation, 4.7% in hospital, 0.5% in intensive care, and the relationship between swabs and positives begins to decrease ”. A call for additional doctors and nurses is underway, in addition to the announcement that the first 1.7 million vaccines will be available by the end of January, and the distribution plan and subject categories are being evaluated. they will get it first.
However, the focus is on the next few hours and on the monitoring that will determine the new orange and possibly red areas, over which the shadow of another postponement hangs.
