The virus has started to run again, Rt indices exceed 1, and the government triggers shutdowns and bans. The epidemiological curve is increasing, it is essential to maintain a high level of rigor, warns Roberto Speranza, concerned about the Covid-19 figures in Europe and because intensive care has stopped falling. As of January 11, Italy will be predominantly orange, with some red and some yellow areas. They are in the balance between the bands of greater risk Lombardy, Veneto and Sicily. But also Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Puglia, Calabria and Basilicata. The confirmation of the zone changes will arrive today with the monitoring of the Higher Institute of Health, but the data from yesterday’s bulletin and the contagion index on the rise again do not reassure. When he has seen the report, the Minister of Health will sign the ordinance from which the containment measures will come into force.
The new Dpcm
Meanwhile, the government is working on the new Dpcm, which will be signed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and will contain many of the restrictions now in place. It will enter into force on January 16 and it should expire at the end of the month unless the government decides (as is almost obvious) to extend the state of emergency, in which case the term of the Prime Minister’s decree can also be extended. Esperanza will fight to expand the decree law that prohibits travel between regions and to activate the measures of the orange zones on weekends also for the territories that are in the yellow band: closed bars and restaurants and travel limitations.
The regional Rt
The calculation to establish the bands is carried out by crossing the new risk thresholds with the stability of the sanitary facilities. The parameters provide that with Rt at 1 and moderate risk it turns orange, with Rt at 1.25 it turns red. Yesterday all regions had a moderate risk and therefore it will be the contagion rate that will make the difference. Emilia-Romagna was at 1.05, Veneto at 1.07, Calabria and certainly Lombardy above 1. It means an orange band with open shops, while bars and restaurants are closed and it is forbidden to leave your municipality. Lombardy, Veneto and Calabria run the risk of entering the red zone directly, which would mean that it is forbidden to leave the house except for verified needs and to go to the stores that remain open. Lazio and Liguria are between yellow and orange. Tuscany, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Molise and Campania must remain in yellow.
The movements
The epidemiological picture alarms scientists and leads the government’s line towards rigor. That is why the inter-region travel ban will certainly be extended from January 16. The exemption will be maintained for small municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants for those who reside in a region of the orange strip, with the same limitations as for the Christmas period: do not exceed 30 kilometers (even transfer outside the region) and not reach the provincial capital.
Two people
In the red strip there will be the exception that allows two people, with children under 14 years in tow, to go out to visit friends and family, only once a day.
The sport
The new Dpcm will also include changes to sports. The minister Vincenzo Spadafora is working to allow in the yellow areas you can train again individually Also to soccer, basketball and other team sports. The minister would like to return to the situation prior to the Dpcm of November 4, when sports were regulated according to the gangs and the national strike of gyms and swimming pools had not yet been activated. But it will not be easy to overcome the perplexities of the rigorous ministers, Speranza, Boccia and Franceschini.
