Orange by order, green with anger. Merchants and entrepreneurs in Campania: faced with the improvement of the various health parameters, first of all, the drop in the percentage of beds in intensive care now at 29 percent (yesterday not even one hospitalized) and the drop in the index of infectivity from 1 to 0.74 – I do not understand the color received in the last order from the Ministry of Health. Campania, as of today, is no longer red, but “only” orange even though all the data points to yellow. Yesterday’s figures from the Regional Crisis Unit confirmed the progress that had already emerged two days ago: 55 deaths (of which 15 in the last 48 hours and 40 deaths registered yesterday) and 1,521 positive (of which 1,383 asymptomatic) versus to 18,636 swabs with a positivity rate of 8.16 percent, while on Friday it was 8.8. There are also numerous recovered, 1,961 for a total of more than 60,000 since the start of the pandemic. Campania is, in fact, the second region in Italy for patients currently suffering from Covid (more than 101 thousand, second after Lombardy), but now few need to be treated in the hospital. Specific signs that show the light at the end of the tunnel to the point that, depending on what is clear, Campania and other orange areas could be “awarded” next week by the CTS technicians called to take note of the objective improvements. Therefore, the change to yellow would occur without waiting two weeks. “Politics” according to Governor Vincenzo De Luca had been the red label, “pink” considering the few controls.
THE RULES
What changes in substance from orange to yellow? From this morning until December 21, the date on which the Christmas bans will come into force according to the last dpcm, all the stores that had been closed so far will be able to reopen, while the bars and restaurants will only be able to take until 22 : 00 hours. This color change is a real joke for commerce and businesses, for those who reopen and will not have refreshments and for those who will still be closed. The data from Campania was supposed to induce the Government to assign the yellow profile, but the reason is that we cannot jump two gradations backwards, which nevertheless happened when we went from yellow to red ”, the transcendent comment of the Speaker of the House of Commerce of Naples, Ciro Fiola.

THE PROPOSALS
Loss of revenue from lockdown, impoverishment of consumers, and fierce competition on online platforms are the most serious problems of this period. Explain Vincenzo Schiavo, number one of Confesercenti: “After 9 months of crisis, the economic and social fabric has worsened a lot: there are workers who have not taken the layoffs since June, soft drinks of 600-1,000 euros for entrepreneurs are not enough to survive.” Confesercenti Campania’s proposal addressed to both national and regional governments is tax relief, eliminating part of taxes and VAT for 6 months. New street protests without immediate intervention then glimpse them Mauro Pantano, president of the Confederation of Companies and Professionals: “We are not at all happy with the last options: the government better fall at this point.”
THE ALARM
“It would have been very important to go to the yellow zone because it would have given a break in particular to the catering sector that is suffering especially in this phase,” says the hope of the general director of Confcommercio Campania Pasquale Russo. The numbers of the crisis are also devastating for hoteliers: in fact, internal and international tourist flows are blocked, so much so that 80 percent less turnover is recorded. Uncomfortable Costanzo Iaccarino, President of Federalberghi Campania, who asks the Region for a promotional campaign for the relaunch considering that “now it is impossible to save the winter tourist season: 2020 is archived, let’s think about 2021.” Who from this morning -thanks to the transition to orange- cannot wait to lift the shutter in the commercial streets of the city invites everyone to collaborate to respect the distance and the quota that remains unchanged. Rosario Ferrara, president of the Consorzio Spaccanapoli Toledo, imagining the crowd on Sunday invites customers “to wait at the entrance, coming to meet us at times to speed up purchases: whoever buys then packs at home”.
