The government’s plan for vaccine delivery

The minister began his report to Parliament claiming that the measures implemented in recent weeks are working: but reiterating that without reducing the opportunities for travel and contagion, the path was set. You need to keep your eyes open, he said. the circulation of the virus, however, still remained, the tracing of contacts was difficult, the pressure on the hospitals was very strong. It will take weeks of sacrifice to stabilize the results. Be careful not to mistake the first ray of sunlight for the narrow exhaust.

There will be two lines of action:

– the classification model of the Regions based on the epidemiological scenario, that is: red, orange and yellow areas – will be reconfirmed. The minister explained that the results obtained were satisfactory, and that the ministry and the Higher Institute of Health, together with the Regions, are discussing the parameters: but the correct tool. Today, Speranza said, the regions tend to yellow, but if the outlook worsens, we already have an automatic tool that can lead to more restrictive measures.

– The reinforced restrictions, for all Italy, for Christmas and the end of the year. Although many Regions will be in the yellow zone for the Christmas and New Year holidays, the government intends to introduce more measures to prevent a third wave that, Speranza said, will be around the corner if we repeat the mistakes made last summer. past, and it won’t. we can afford not only because it could lead to more heavy closures in January, but because it could greatly complicate the vaccination campaign. That is why, the minister said, the government’s guidance for this to go during the Christmas holidays international travel discouraged, movements between regions must be blocked as is the case today for the regions of the red and orange zones, and, on public holidays: December 25, 26 and January 1, movements between municipalities must also be limited. The government has also announced its intention to limit gatherings, especially in resorts and holiday-related: It will not be, he said, a Christmas like any other.

Speranza did not provide details in Parliament on the curfew or in any exception to travel.

The minister also spoke of school: We have chosen to keep the lessons in presence also in the red areas, for primary school and up to sixth grade: this option will also be maintained in the new Dpcm. In many Regions, Speranza said, the second and third middle classes are also rebooting, moving to the orange and yellow bands. The government’s goal, he said, is to bring high school students into the classroom as well. The government has not yet announced a date on this step.
