The day marked in red on the Palazzo Chigi calendar is December 20, 2020. For more than one reason. Since Sunday, December 13, 2020, Lombardy, Piedmont, Calabria and Basilicata have gone from the orange zone to the yellow one. Tuscany, Abruzzo, Campania and Valle d’Aosta aspire to become one soon. There was no progress of the control room, so it will be Friday the day of the decisions. We are heading towards an orange and red zone in Italy from December 24 to January 6. And the Veneto case remains strong, where Covid does not slow down at all.
So far, no region in this second wave has moved from a more restricted zone to a softer one before at least two weeks of being in the same color gamut have passed. The hope of the Orange Regions, Tuscany in the first place, is that the government control room will be able to assess even before December 20, after reading the dossiers on the subject, the difference between the data between the different regions and correct the shot shortly.
Yellow zone and movements between regions: eyes on December 20
“The 20th is going to happen that people are going to move. The 20th, even if I could move, I would not move, because I understand what the legislator wants. And what he says: try to stay home alone because it is a dangerous moment.” said the deputy minister. della Salute Pierpaolo Sileri, guest at Di Martedì, at La7 last night. “Today – continued Sileri – the numbers are good but not so exceptional, so it is clear that more grip is needed. However, I would not do it for twenty days. This is my idea, but it is not necessarily the idea of 25 / 30 people who are part of the Scientific Technical Committee “. Sileri said it would close on “specific days.” “What worries me today about tampons is the percentage of positives that there are, which is still too high: it means that we are still leaving positive people out that we cannot find, the tip of the iceberg. They are people – he added – who are asymptomatic or they have been infected and have no close symptoms so they do not know they are infected. “
But December 20 is also the hottest day for other reasons. Starting December 20, almost all regions will move into the yellow zone.
“As of December 20 all yellow regions except Abruzzo”
“When the CTS asks to tighten the measures of the yellow zone for Christmas, where from December 20 all the Regions will meet except Abruzzo – writes Michele Bocci today in Repubblica (an indiscretion, because there is no official confirmation of this, ed)– also think about those data, which show how to reduce the contagion curve more quickly, we need the measures provided for the red zones. “Where there was no red zone, the virus has slowed down in recent weeks, but very slowly.” If we analyze the Regions that have remained yellow since the beginning of the ranking system, that is, Veneto. Lazio, Molise, Sardinia and the province of Trento, it is observed that in the last two weeks the total number of cases has increased from 38,969 to 38,552. In other words, it has practically remained stable. “This may mean that the measures adopted in these territories stop contagion but do not break the curve.
The political and business world of Abruzzo still strongly calls for Abruzzo to enter the yellow zone before Christmas. On December 6, the governor of Abruzzo Marsilio, with ordinance n. 106, had allowed Abruzzo to enter the orange zone, exiting the red zone. The executive had appealed to the TAR of Abruzzo canceling the regional administrative arrangement, bringing Abruzzo back to the Red Zone, even if only for Saturday 12 December. Marsilio for his part is trying to get the yellow zone if it is not for the 21st, at least for the 23rd of December, in time for the Christmas trips.
Because movements between regions are in the crosshairs
“The last weekend was dramatic from many points of view. Meetings in the shopping streets, in the meeting places: these are all situations that one way or another will unfortunately pay for ”, admitted the coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee, Agostino Miozzo to Cartabianca in Rai Tre. “You have to be very careful with travel. We are in an extremely delicate phase of the pandemic. We still have too large numbers. Travel is one of the determining characteristics of this spread of the epidemic. Movements that affect the entire country: while “The first wave was of concern above all. Northern Italy is not like this today. They are people who go to visit relatives, relatives who get together but who are actually strangers, come from different places and are potentially dangerous.”
“Much of Italy has been yellow for many days and is working – reasons the Minister of Regional Affairs Francesco Boccia – the decision that is expected at the moment refers to three days, 25, 26 and 1, more than the rest of the period, which it is already subject to very clear prescriptions. I think that from the days leading up to the holidays, until January 6 and 7, it is more useful that everyone closes as much as possible. It is not a decision that I or all the ministers make: we want to share it. with the Regions and local administrations, but the result of getting out of new restrictions is a collective patrimony, it is not a choice that benefits one or the other ”.
“We already have a plan prepared for the Christmas holidays. Perhaps there will be some tweaks. In light of the suggestions of the Scientific Technical Committee, we will introduce some more measures. We are reflecting on it. In any case we must avoid a third wave because it would be very heavy “. So Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on the possibility of introducing new measures during the Christmas holidays. “The system of colored regions is working, we have avoided a generalized blockade like in Germany. With well defined and calibrated measurements we are holding up this second wave well.
Meanwhile, the meeting between the Government and the Regions has just begun, convened by the Regional Minister, Francesco Boccia, to close the vaccination plan and discuss the new measures for the Christmas holidays. The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, and the extraordinary commissioner for the Coronavirus emergency, Domenico Arcuri, also participate in the meeting via videoconference.
