Forget crowded dinners, all huddled around the table for fun Christmas me New Year. “We will have to limit ourselves to the closest affections – said the Minister of Health.” Roberto Speranza – We will evaluate the numbers, we will discuss them in the next few hours ». That is, today, at a summit of government in which the rules to follow to avoid the proliferation of the virus under the mistletoe will be discussed. How many of us will unpack the gifts? And to toast the new year? “In Germany they chose the number ten, but, net of the unique number, the message is to reduce all the unnecessary occasions in which the infection can spread,” says Speranza. A maximum number of diners, in the end, will have to be set and at the moment the current orientation of the government is six, eight people.
RIGOR LINE
The heads of delegation are discussing the rules under study today, and then the government will meet with the presidents of the Regions. A confrontation that starts from different positions: if the executive remains in line with rigor, some governors press for a lightening of measures so that economic activities, already distorted by the crisis, can be distributed. The Health Ministry notes that the risk of a third wave is very high, the possibility of a relaxation of the rules for the holidays seems unlikely. “With 600-700 dead a day, to speak that dinner is out of place, I say it very clearly,” the Minister of Regional Affairs also warned a few days ago. Francesco Boccia. The indications in the dinners at home will be recommendations and not prohibitions, in light of the evolution of the pandemic, the hypothesis is that six or eight diners will not be exceeded, therefore only cohabitants and close relatives. “This Christmas – confirmed the Undersecretary of Health Sandra Zampa – we must strive to be as few as possible” because “the more the circle of people who do not usually frequent, the greater the risk”. So, “I suppose we can say five , six people maximum – the undersecretary lowers the figure even more – but it is obvious that it will not be possible to control it. “
AS IN AUGUST
At the base of everything there is therefore personal responsibility, what happened in the summer should be sufficient proof that, if you let your guard down, the virus will attack again. “I swore to myself that I would talk about Christmas just to congratulate family members, because I think it is someone else’s job to put a face on it from this point of view. One thing is certain. We cannot pretend that nothing has happened: we must avoid doing at Christmas what we did in August. I hope the great lesson of the summer has been learned ”, underlines Massimo Galli, director of the department of infectious diseases at the Sacco hospital in Milan. “Since the end of the confinement until today, 12,000 deaths have been caused by the virus, most of these deaths could have been prevented with responsible behavior – reflects Galli- but also with responsible indications from the authorities. You can’t juggle responsibility. We do not seek discounts. Responsible Christmas is a Christmas that must avoid infecting our grandparents.
CURFEW
Final directives will come with the Dpcm of next December 3, which will also sanction the times of curfew. Within the government, those who favor austerity would like to keep it at 10 at night or even advance it to 9 at night. However, if it is decided to extend the hours of the stores to ten at night so as not to create crowds of customers, it could also be extended to 23. The only exception Good night, when we can return home after midnight and it is debated whether the same rule can be extended until the night of December 31st. Another piece is the green light for the opening of stores, with a wider time slot and the consequent lengthening of the curfew to avoid the collapse of thousands of businesses that derive a third of their annual turnover from Christmas shopping. But the controls will be reinforced: to avoid long lines in front of or inside the stores and to avoid concentrations in the streets and commercial squares, also limiting the entrances.
What will not change, in this the government is compact, it is the band system and the positioning of the regions in the yellow, orange or red zone depending on the risk index indicated in the monitoring. The expected for Friday should allow the first three regions to enter the red range: Lombardy, Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta – go out while Puglia and Sicilia, which first turned orange, could stay in that range. “To be calm – says a government source – we should have between 5 and 7 thousand cases a day throughout Italy, because that is the threshold that allows us to track all cases. Until we are in that condition we cannot relax. And with nearly 26,000 cases still today, it will take weeks. And in between are Christmas and New Years.
