A new Dpcm or a decree law to transform theItaly in the red or orange zone during the Christmas holidays: this would be the orientation of the Conte government, which is evaluating a new grip after the alarming episodes of gatherings in the shopping streets and historical centers of the main Italian cities, not to mention the “disappointing” bulletin that certified a slowdown of the decrease in RT and an increase in the proportion of new positives to buffers.
It comes straight from the meeting that just ended between Scientific Technical Committee, Prime Minister Conte and Ministers Luciana Lamorgese, Francesco Boccia and Alfonso Bonafede confirm that we could move towards a lockout throughout the Christmas period, as reported in the last minutes byANSA.
Restrictive measures that become necessary in view of defined data “Still worried”, and the consequent difficulties in maintaining firm control over the territories of the Belpaese, especially the most exposed. The CTS explicitly asked for a squeeze which, at this point, could come soon.
The negative trend of the virus, perhaps predictably, was interrupted with the reopening and the executive is willing to question the decisions made at the beginning of the month. The basic objective is to avoid the third wave or at least try to reduce it.
The most credible hypothesis is the one that the closing of shops, bars and restaurants in the week of greatest risk, the one that goes from December 24 to 31, or even until Epiphany. This is why we speak of Christmas lock and the “Merkel model”. Meanwhile, the Netherlands is also preparing to take measures to limit the circulation of the virus during the holidays.
Italy red or orange zone for Christmas: what it means
The Government could decide to transform theItaly in the red or orange zone from December 24 to January 1 or 7, or only on holidays and days before holidays (December 24-25, December 31 – January 2, January 5-7). Several hypotheses on the table, and establishing which way to go will be a decree law or a Dpcm (still unclear) that should allow the movements between small municipalities on December 25, 26 and January 1, thus modifying the rule set forth in the decree of December 2.
In fact, the measures envisaged in the red or orange zone would be extended to the entire national territory, and therefore also to the regions of the yellow zone: stores closed, restaurants and bars open only for take away and home delivery and the prohibition of moving even within their own municipality or region.
the Christmas lock could foresee:
- Beginning the weekend of December 19-20, all non-essential stores will be closed, with the exception of those that sell basic necessities, allowing exemptions for travel for family lunch;
- soft lockout from December 24 to January 2
- all of Italy in the orange zone, with the prohibition of moving between municipalities (except those living in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, which could be allowed to move within a 30 km radius) but with shops that would remain open
- early curfew at 8 pm
- a jerky squeeze, on high-risk days like holidays and weekends.
Regional Affairs Minister Boccia anticipated the government’s intentions on the new adjustment, saying: “We have to thoroughly tell ourselves if the Christmas holidays should serve to secure the country or if they should be guided only by the desire to favor business. At this time, business and health are not only compatible. And I have the greatest respect for those who have the weight of economic activities on their shoulders. We must realize that when there is an epidemic and there are no drugs, travel should be avoided. Not me, but science. Those of the Democratic Party, as Zingaretti reiterated, we want more restrictive measures, rather than openness. As for the economy, the government has allocated the largest postwar plan in billions. “.
New restrictive measures
What are the new restrictive measures coming for Christmas? At the moment everything is under discussion.
The experts of the Technical-Scientific Committee seem totally opposed to a generalized opening with a view to the Christmas holidays, and call for more restrictive measures for the end of the year holidays, to prevent the Christmas holidays from becoming the premise of a new devastating wave of infections in January are now taken for granted.
“We need a new grip”
Although Italy is once again leading the number of deaths in Europe, the impact of the measures decided by the Government on the contagion curve is considered positive. However, the images that have arrived these days of large crowds entering and leaving the Christmas shopping stores make people fear the worst.
“We must do everything possible not to lose these results and not back down. Therefore, given a certain increase in the risk of social gatherings during the holiday period and the recommendations for prudence and responsibility of the National Scientific Committee, it is necessary to evaluate the adoption of new measures that guarantee the containment of infections.”.
This is what emerged at the end of a meeting between the main exponents of the PD: and ministers Gualtieri, Boccia, De Micheli, Provenzano, Amendola, Guerini and Franceschini; group leaders of Chamber and Senate, Delrio and Marcucci; the secretary and the vice secretary Zingaretti and Orlando.
The note also states that “If the situation in many regions improves, it is only thanks to these containment measures and consistent and responsible behavior ”. Despite this, the number of victims is “dramatic“, as much as “the total number of positives”.
Milan, Rome, Naples, Bologna, Turin: urban centers have been invaded by citizens looking for gifts. Neither mayors nor prefects have been able to limit the influx of people to the commercial streets of the city. Also because, in the absence of explicit purchase bans, it is difficult to impose sanctions.
Not even in Lombardy, he barely reached the yellow zone, there were no restrictions. Just a PalermoAmong large cities, Mayor Leoluca Orlando has reconfirmed the prohibition of parking in the streets and squares of the center.
Meanwhile, the question arises: what will happen when all these gifts are delivered?
