Five other orange regions, the province of Bolzano red and a discussion in the next few hours about Campania, who could follow the Lombardy and the Piedmont and they turn red even though the Region continues to reiterate that “the health system holds.” After three days of postponements, the control room of the Ministry of Health updates the monitoring of the epidemiological situation in Italy and Minister Roberto Speranza signs the ordinances with which Abruzzo, Basilicata, Liguria, Tuscany, Umbria and the province of Bolzano finish in a different range and with more restrictions than a week ago. “The situation continues to get worse – says the director of the Ministry’s Prevention Department Gianni Rezza – and justifies the adoption of more restrictive interventions.”
Covid Pfizer vaccine, all the problems and times to bring it to Italy: arrival after mid-2021
The measures will begin on Wednesday, November 11, after days of comings and goings between the government and the regions, with the data that struggled to reach Rome and the constant pressure from the majority of governors for the executive to abandon the system of restrictions. localized adopted with the Dpcm of November 3 in favor of a national provision. A general blockade that the prime minister Giuseppe Conte He still doesn’t want to and that is also being asked by the doctors, who have been raising the alarm for two days. “If the figures continue to be these, the government will have to make important decisions that also include the total blockade – reiterated the president of the Federation of doctors Filippo Anelli – Only in this way can the rise of this curve be blocked, otherwise the system of health won’t. ” it will hold.
For the moment, however, we are not changing. And that’s why: in the next 15 days Abruzzo, Basilicata, Umbria, Liguria and Tuscany will be in the orange zone. Compared to the measures already in force throughout Italy, there will be a ban on entering and leaving the region and movement between municipalities, except for reasons of work, study, health and necessity, and the closure of bars and restaurants throughout the day. On the other hand, schools will remain open and will be available for children, primary and secondary schools. The even harsher confinement in the province of Bolzano, which the ministry has included in the red zone but, in fact, it had already been for several days: shops also closed, except for food and pharmacies, and distance education also for second and third grade. . Not only that: in Bolzano the mayor has further toughened the measures with an ordinance that allows motor activity no more than a kilometer from the house. “We have no alternatives” is the laconic comment that comes from the provincial councilor for Health Thomas Widmann. But what has changed? “The situation continues to worsen – says Rezza, nationwide there is a Rt of 1.7 and 500 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants.” And there is an “increase in hospital admissions, especially in intensive care.” Therefore, “the adoption of more restrictive measures in the most affected regions and the adoption of prudent behavior by all citizens is justified”. Three of the five regions that are now in the orange zone have, for example, a positive / buffer ratio higher than the national average: 18% for Basilicata, 17.1% for Liguria and even 30% for Umbria.
Not only that: already on November 3, when the Dpcm was signed, 4 out of every five regions had an occupancy rate for beds in ordinary rooms or intensive care units above the critical threshold: in addition to Basilicata, 31% of the medical area in Abruzzo, 46% of the intensive care units and 47% of the medical area in Umbria, 60% of the ordinary wards in Liguria and 36% of the intensive care units in Tuscany. All five regions will stay in the orange zone for at least 15 days – in fact, if the data deteriorates further, it could turn red next week.
Governors’ reactions to government decisions are different. If Vito Bardi does not exclude even more restrictive measures for Basilicata and appeals to the “sense of responsibility of the Lucans so that they have responsible attitudes”, and that of Tuscany Eugenio Giani speaks of the need to make “now sacrifices to leave as soon as possible”, The President of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, says he is “perplexed” given that the figures “are more or less similar to last week.” Even if he himself confirms that hospitals in the region are “under great pressure.” Doubts also of the governor of Umbria Donatella Tesei, according to whom the Region “has equipped and executed the safeguard plan”, also installing a field hospital. But she must also admit that “unfortunately the evolution and the extraordinary numbers of this second wave are causing many regions to change color very quickly.”
The minister @robersperanza anticipated the outcome of the meeting that established the approval of#Bruzos – together with Umbria, Basilicata, Liguria and Tuscany – in the #zonaarancione. The effects of the provision that the minister is preparing to sign will take effect from Wednesday.
