And the reopening of the school is questionable. The positivity rate flies to nearly 18% and now the infection trend weighs on reboot. The Regions, again divided into three bands as of January 7, are delaying the return to the banks.

Concerns grow at the same time: even if the start of teaching in the presence of 50% in institutes remains at the time set for January 7There are still many doubts among the governors. As much as to pressure the president of the Conference of the Regions, Stefano Bonaccini, to question that date: “I think it would be correct for the government to reconvene us in the next few hours and together we make a decision, in a very secular way,” he says. .

“The reopening of the school on January 7 is too risky. We are taking note of the problems of the increase in infections in recent days. On January 18 we were able to get an idea of ​​the epidemiological trend and make a reasonable decision. ” So says Elvira Serafini, secretary of Snals, one of the most representative unions in the school.

In view of a new decree that will exceed the last Dpcm that expires on 15We also look at what will happen in the coming weeks: the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, has signed the ordinance with which the reopening of the ski facilities is postponed until January 18. “Now we can finally get out safely”, comment the councilors with responsibility for skiing in the Autonomous Regions and Provinces of the Alps and Abruzzo. And some sparkles open in the gyms with the proposal of the Sports of the Regions coordinator, Tiziana Gibelli, who assumes the resumption from January 15 under the guarantee of strict rules.

The location of the territories in the different areas – yellow, orange or red – Instead, it will be decided by following the follow-up that will arrive in the first half of next week. To risk the red zone for now are mainly Veneto, Liguria and Calabria, but also Puglia, Basilicata and Lombardy. Other warning indicators refer to Friuli Venezia Giulia, Valle d’Aosta, Piedmont, the autonomous province of Trento and Emilia Romagna, which are 50% more likely to exceed the critical occupancy threshold for beds in the medical area by 30 days. while for Lombardy, Trento and Veneto the same happens with intensive care.

The situation in Sardinia is uncertain, while government sources assure that Abruzzo will return to the yellow zone from day 7. Regarding the trend of infection, the latest national data are not comforting: the bulletin speaks of 364 deaths and 11,831 new cases of Covid in a small number of swabs made, just over 67 thousand. The incidence of positivity has now increased by almost three points, to 17.6%, and patients admitted to intensive care are increasing again, although only by 16 units. According to various experts, the effects of the Dpcm of October 24 have already been exhausted and throughout Italy the epidemic curve begins to rise again, so much so that the estimates prepared by the statistician Livio Fenga indicate about 600 thousand cases in total at the end of January , compared to about 577 thousand streams.

And there are at least 14 regions where estimates indicate a resumption of infections from Veneto. The survey shows an upward trend in the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano, in Veneto, Emilia Romagna, Lazio, Marche and Umbria.
