One month after processing the anti covid piano for the autumn-winter, “prepared” by the Ministry of Health together with the ISS and the Regions and on which the dpcm that divided Italy into three risk bands is based, the governors ask to review the parameters that they themselves approved. Using only five instead of the current 21. For regions, the parameters are now “inadequate“And therefore”to be reviewed“, Despite having them for less than a month shared. The five indicators they would like are: percentage from positive swabs excluding all screening and reevaluation activities of the same subjects, a Rt calculated on the basis of the integrated ISS surveillance, the employment rate total ICU beds for Covid patients and total beds for Covid patients in addition to the possibility of guaranteeing adequate resources for contact tracking, isolation and quarantine and the number of people dedicated in each territorial service to the location of contacts. “The dialogue with the regions is always open. The 21 parameters indicate the risk index together with the Rt and decide what measures to implement in the territories ”, the response of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza.

During the Conference of the Regions, the Vice President of Friuli announced via Twitter Riccardo riccardi, there was a “unanimous consentTo President Fedriga’s proposal to officially question the scientific mechanism designed by experts to manage the second wave of the pandemic. The request comes to the end of weeks of controversy, with Lombardy me Piedmont inserted in the red zone along with Aosta Valley me Calabria November 4, closely followed by the province of Bolzano and then by Campania me Tuscany. The governors first demanded that the government take the initiative, then they criticized restrictions decided for their own territories. And now that in some cases the trend of the curve begins to to get better (but before two weeks from the beginning of the squeeze each Region will have to remain where it is), they accuse Palazzo Chigi of resorting to parameters incapable of “seeing the tendency to infectionsAnd related to a period of time “too narrow”, in the words of the President of Veneto Luca zaia.

However, I 21 epidemiological criteria that determine the inclusion of a Region in the yellow, orange or red zone have been approved with the consent of the governors themselves. Developed for the first time on April 30, they are divided into three categories: there are indicators on the ability to surveillance; those in the capacity of diagnostic evaluation, research and contact management; and performance indicators related to transmission stability and the maintenance of health services. The ISS, with some slide published online at the same time as the Conference of Regions, reports that follow-up data “are up to dateAnd they allow to estimate the advance of the virus. The system, they add, is not too complex, on the contrary “it takes into account in all aspects related to the epidemic ”and the response of health systems. The entire mechanism has been merged into a dated circular from the Ministry of Health. October 12, 2020 containing the document “Prevention and response to Covid-19“Who did it? The technicians of the ministry, the Higher Institute of Health and the Coordination of Regions and Autonomous Provinces. risk scenarios to which our country would have been exposed during the winter. And a few weeks later the dpcm arrived and formalized the mechanism even more, distinguishing the yellow zone from the orange, characterized “by a scene of high severity and from a high risk level ”- and from the red, considered“ maximum risk ”.

The consequences, however, did not please many. From the acting President of Calabria, Nino Spirlì, according to which his Region was closed “with i bingo numbers“, Until the governor Vincenzo De Luca. Who, after entering the red zone of Campania, thundered against the Palazzo Chigi invoking an executive of National unity. “We were about to close everything in October,” he explained. But “the government made another decision”, making “lose two precious months“With” crushed measures. “Controversy also due to the fact that the Ministry of Health has questioned the data on the pandemic monitoring It came in recent weeks from the Regions. Inspectors arrived Naples, lie a Genoa The prosecutor has for now opened a file without hypothesis of crime. The governors, clarifies now the Ligurian Giovanni toti, request an urgent meeting with the government to “review with a view to simplification the parameters that were developed in the first phase of the pandemic by updating the indications on the use of rapid antigenic tests and the molecular biology test and the modification of indicators for monitoring for classification“.” The impression I have, “he adds Acquaroli Marche, “is that between now and April, if the red-yellow-orange pattern remains, there is a risk of an epidemic that stops and restarts multiple times, which goes up and down with the curve. “Acquaroli wants to avoid” a continuous persecution of ‘Friday’, a weekly episode in which citizens and administrators understand how they are classified: I think it is a very sad perception and vision of politics and the level of institutions in Italy. “It is necessary, he concluded,” to maintain the right balance in elections and that they are shared and related to the territories “.
