Curfew, red and orange zones, soft drinks, travel: what we know today 9 days before Christmas



[ad_1]

Christmas red zone and total closure. Early curfew. Inability to move from one region to another, even if it is yellow. Today can be there decisive day for the new vacation restrictions. In Italy, while continuing to travel at an average of more than 600 deaths per day For Covid (659 in the last week), with a percentage of positives compared to swabs made showing no signs of definitely falling below 10%, the government must decide whether to re-tighten the shirts in the Christmas holidays and how to do it, shopping rallies that have been seen in every major city, trying to avoid the specter of the third wave in January


ALL STILL

Without further action, the Christmas is likely to end in a lockdown. To air the hypothesis of a total closure is the Ministry of Health – by voice of the director of Prevention Gianni Rezza – which seeks the support of the experts of the Scientific Technical Committee to give more weight to a new Christmas ventilated grip. Shore that, however, has not yet arrived. The technicians, in fact, are divided and Tuesday’s meeting went to the file with a report, signed unanimously, in which a strengthening of controls by the police forces is requested, but in which there is no mention of areas . red, orange or yellow.

EARLY FIRE COVER

This is the idea of ​​scientists, it is a decision that corresponds to the government. The hypothesis is precisely that of one national red zone on holidays and days before holidays – a de facto lockdown – from Boxing Day’s Eve, from New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Eve, only with open essential services Or that, more likely, of a kind of big orange area, with open shops and restaurants closed. And with him Early curfew at 6 or 8 pm. If Italy turns all orange, it will not be possible to move between municipalities except for serious reasons (work, health, etc.) or to return to residence or home. According to current rules, as of December 21, it will not be possible to move outside of your region. So even if the Regions were all yellow, the movements from one to another would still slow down. The only certainty for the moment is that any decision will be made whoever wants to return to their residence or habitual residence may do so. “We are thinking about the two weeks of the Christmas holidays -explained the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza-, I hope that in a short time we can take more measures to avoid a hypothetical third wave.” “REwe must be more rigorous during the holidays ”, echoes the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia. “In Italy the contagion curve is falling, while in Germany it is increasing”, he observes; leading to the exclusion of a nationwide lockdown of weeks in the German example.

AVOID MOVING

Ma la however it will be tight, with the sole exception perhaps of small town movements within a certain number of kilometers. The national red zone on holidays and the eve of holidays, however, does not see that everyone agrees even in the government and in the majority. And then there is the issue of soft drinks: the closure of stores, bars and restaurants would lead managers to ask for more financial support. But the need for hardening, explained by the CTS, is linked to the impossibility, on the one hand, of a capillary control of the territory and, on the other, to the still “worrying” data of the epidemic. “We need to extend the measures, otherwise we will be in trouble in January,” say the experts, who urge to strengthen controls on compliance with the measures already in force. But stopping shoppers or restaurants, where and as long as it is allowed, is not possible. The Regions, which were pushing for ties to be released, now face the prospect of tightening. But the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella also invokes “a collective effort”, in this case at the global level, because, he says, only he and “only effective multilateralism can allow the international community to overcome this emergency.”

THE APULIAN EXAMPLE

And what it decided, in Puglia, the municipality of Altamura could also be an example for the government. Curfew at 8:30 p.m. every day from today until January 6, 2021 and, for Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and Epiphany (December 24 and 31 and January 5) all shops will be closed at 2:00 p.m. h (including takeout). These are some of the prescriptions ordered by the Altamura (Bari) City Council, which passed yesterday in the yellow zone, with the aim of limiting the risk of a further spread of Covid infections. Since yesterday, bars and restaurants will be closed every day at 6:00 p.m. (with take-out allowed until 8:30 p.m. and at home 24 hours a day) and the day before at 2:00 p.m., as for other commercial activities. In addition, the ban on parking in nine places and the suspension of face-to-face teaching in all schools, which will then reopen on January 7.
