ROME. Minister Roberto Gualtieri says it without too many words: “To avoid confinement there must be intermediate measures, even painful ones.” Emergency shutdown? Closure between regions? What, then, are the assumptions on the ground? At the summit that lasted until last night between the government and the Regions, the objectives that the government intends to achieve to stop the spike in infections were put on the table. We will argue, even today, on several fronts and it is not certain that the dpcm will launch during the day. It could be postponed until tomorrow Tuesday, November 3
But what are the points of contrast? Meanwhile, the curfew, in which there was a lot of friction between the Executive and the regional governors. The indecision is whether to close at 6 or 9 pm And then bars and restaurants close even for lunch, shops closed (except pharmacies, tobacconists and groceries), smart work for all public administration and distance education from second grade. Last year of high school. As learned, these would be some of the measures the government is working on for high-risk regions, starting with Lombardy, Piedmont and Campania.
Now the next step in view of the Dpcm will be this morning with the participation of the CTS, therefore, the green light for the new rules. From the protection of the elderly to the news for schools.
Today, in fact, the Prime Minister will maintain communications on the epidemiological situation and on any additional measures to face the Covid-19 emergency both in the Chamber and the Senate. In Montecitorio, the prime minister will report at 12 o’clock, followed by a debate with explanations of vote that will end with voting on majority and opposition resolutions. He will go to Palazzo Madama Conte at 5 pm and voting will take place here also after the debate. The work of the Senate is expected to finish around 8:00 pm. Before going to report to the Chambers, at 9:00 Conte the Regions, Anci and Upi will meet again in the presence of the Minister of Regional Affairs Francesco Boccia. But it is not excluded that the signing in another Dpcm will be postponed until tomorrow.
Yesterday was a very tense day. The summit was held on these aspects and did not dissolve several knots of the points discussed: people over 70 years old at home to protect themselves from coronavirus infection, shopping centers closed on weekends, curfew at 18 (but then at 9:00 p.m.), stop at the betting counters in bars and tobacconists (the latter must remain open), restrictions on regional and interregional mobility, closure of schools based on the local contagion index Rt. Ultimately, these would be, according to informed by the participants, the main measures proposed and discussed at the summit between the government, represented by the ministers Roberto Speranza (Health) and Francesco Boccia (Autonomies), the Regions, the Municipalities and the Provinces for the next Dpc, planned between tomorrow and Tuesday.
Boccia proposed, among other things, the strengthening of the network of so-called “Covid Hotels” for asymptomatic positives who cannot remain in adequate isolation at home. During the meeting, the Regions also made numerous proposals.
Liguria, Piedmont and Lombardy have lobbied to limit the movements of people over 70 as much as possible, while also strengthening home care. Regarding the school, “not a single decision should be made, but it should depend on the degree of Rt (contagion index, ed) in all regions ”, is what the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, supposedly said at the top with the local authorities.
One of the proposals presented by the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, would refer to the ban on family doctors who refuse to implement the agreements reached (in Lombardy 3,000 available family doctors out of 8,000) on tampons. But Fontana also reportedly called for a reduction in the capacity allowed in local public transport and the closure of parks and gardens. Finally, according to Fontana, any closure measure must be subject to financial compensation for the affected categories.
