The countdown has started in Bergamo and Lombardy. Friday night the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza signed the ordinance that sanctions the transition from the orange to the yellow zone, effective from Sunday, December 13.
This is the color range that provides softer rules and therefore fewer limitations than the others, but that for that very reason implies greater responsibility. Some people call it a gift from Saint Lucia, but to use the words of the mayor of Bergamo Giorgio gori “This is not an objective or an acquired condition.” A possible increase in infections would favor a return to the orange or red zone, depending on the severity of the situation.
The trend of infections
“The curve of the pandemic has lowered and daily cases continue to fall” they explain from Ats Bergamo, however, inviting them to keep their guard up. Of the 243 municipalities in the province, 89 have not been affected by positive virus cases in the last week. “L ‘Rt it is consolidated in 1 – the experts of the Health Protection Agency specify -. The hospitalization activity is going well “, but” some problems persist in the Low and inAlto Sebino, for a couple of weeks it has increased in the most critical area. “The countries most closely monitored are Solto Collina (where the mayor has suspended masses and has started a campaign to detect citizens) and Pallavicina Tower. On the other hand, the shoots of Villa d’Adda me Fara Gera d’Adda.
In the last week, the total number of new cases in the Bergamo area has dropped by 36%. The positives registered in the last 24 hours are 130, while the daily average of infections in the last week was 105 (last week 148, two weeks ago 180, three weeks ago 234). Intensive care in Bergamo is 54 (last week 56, two weeks ago 81 and three weeks ago 83) while ordinary hospitalizations for Covid are 507 (last week 629, two weeks ago 766, three weeks ago 794).
The rules to follow
Decreasing numbers that, in Bergamo as in Lombardy, favored the degradation to the yellow zone. But what does this passage really imply? Among the most anticipated developments is undoubtedly the resumption of trips outside the municipal limits, allowed from 5 to 22 without the need for self-certification. After that, a curfew is activated and any movement must still be motivated: by proven work, need or health needs. Otherwise, the risk is to incur high penalties.
Movement between regions is also allowed, as long as they are yellow areas. Otherwise, specific reasons (work, health, need and urgency) and the self-certification form are required to move to a region in the orange or red zone.
The return home, home and residence is obviously allowed. And you can also get to the second house: on the mountain or on the lake it doesn’t matter, as long as it is in the yellow zone. Finally, the Dpcm does not foresee a specific prohibition to receive people other than people who live together at home, but the recommendation is to avoid except for the usual needs: work, need, urgency.
Masks should be used both outdoors and indoors in locations other than your home. It is not mandatory for those who carry out sports activities, if you are eating or drinking in the places and times in which it is scheduled, when you are alone or with your partners.
Bars, restaurants, schools
Important news also on the approximately 2,600 bars and 1,400 restaurants in the province. Many of them will lift the shutters, but only until 6 pm Take-out is allowed until 10 pm, while home delivery is not subject to time limits.
If for some the yellow zone coincides with a great breath of fresh air (let’s think of the daytime bars), for others the same cannot be said (restaurants, especially high-end restaurants, and nightclubs and nightclubs). That is why, even in the province of Bergamo, one in three clubs may not finally reopen. “Personally, I want to be optimistic, since I trust the industriousness, perseverance and desire not to give up of our entrepreneurs – he says Cesare rossi, deputy director of Confesercenti Bergamo -. It is enough to see how they organized in a few days for take away food and delivery, guaranteeing a service to citizens and workers. “And without even doing too many economic calculations” because the impact on the income of the delivery company – he points out – remains. very low, about 15-20%. “
Many locals will try not to close, also due to the real lack of a work alternative. “They will keep the lights on and the doors open despite the loss, temporarily, Rossi hopes, at least until it is possible and in the hope that in spring we can breathe a little normality.”
As for schools, higher schools continue distance education until the Christmas holidays. As of January 7, however, a substantial part of these students will return to the banks, 75%: in the Bergamo area they make about 35,000. Just the moment to rearrange the lessons and the delicate chapter on transportation.
