Towards the end of Christmas, government decisions are awaitingItaly will be a red Christmas. Tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. a meeting of the Council of Ministers is scheduled. The discussion of the new restrictive measures could also be on the table although “this afternoon a series of measures are approved in the Unified Conference and State-Regions Conference, between Friday and Saturday there will surely be the Council of Ministers” to launch the new anti-Covid measures.
Just as there are divisions within the government between ‘rigorists’ and ‘possibilists’, the same decision is found between the rulers, obviously depending on the epidemiological trend of the curve. Veneto President Luca Zaia has issued a new order anticipating the government’s squeeze. “Closing of municipal limits after 2 pm from December 19 to January 6,” specifies the governor.
“We had a meeting, but this was also interlocutory. The government has not yet clarified what the proposal will be. He will do it tomorrow between noon and 3, so tomorrow we will understand. “ Explained it the President of the Lombardy Region Attilio Fontana about the confrontation this afternoon between the Regions and the Government over new anti-Covid restrictions during the Christmas period. “What we as center-right presidents have asked,” Fontana added, “is that there be certainties, that there be refreshments and that they be effective for all the categories that will suffer damage from this situation.” “Unfortunately for Zaia, the situation in Veneto is a bit worse than in Lombardy. I think we have good numbers, so we can afford not to restrict more. “This was said by the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, on the sidelines of the Regional Council, excluding autonomous measures in the Christmas period compared to those of the Government, as announced by Governor Luca Zaia in Veneto.
‘Fuga forward’ also in San Marino where New Year’s Eve dinner will be possible until 1 in the morning. The government of San Marino will issue a decree that will extend the opening hours of clubs and restaurants until December 31. This was announced by the Secretary of Health, Roberto Ciavatta, interviewed by Luca Salvatori for the Viceversa broadcast of Rtv San Marino. “Unfortunately, there are no measures that scientifically guarantee a decrease in infections – said Ciavatta – Much of the debate around the measures is used specifically to generate controversy, we often see it in Italy, of a political nature.“.” We – continues Ciavatta – have tried to give continuity to the measures, so much so that in this second wave there have been very few decrees and changes. I think trying to reopen for Christmas was not a good step for Italy, but we stayed in line with our instructions. Today a decree will be released on the extension of the opening hours for New Year’s Eve, because we decided, together with the health center, that instead of closing at midnight and letting customers make the toast outside the restaurant, it is better than inside “with the necessary security measures, mask and distance.
Regional affairs minister is tasked with getting things back on track Francesco Boccia. “We must make decisions to protect the most fragile and the elderly, at the cost of bordering on unpopularity. We will have to spend Christmas each in their own home“. “It is evident that we are going towards restrictions during the holiday period, if someone makes hypotheses of parties, dinners, gatherings, it is very bad”. Thus, Minister Boccia in Sky Tg25. “Only from Christmas Eve until Epiphany, on January 3 or 6, we will see, the more restrictions the better,” he added. “Restrictions also for next weekend? If it were up to me I would do them from tonight … No, I don’t want to worry you. The other days (apart from the Christmas holidays which will be subject to new restrictions, ed) each region has its own color and most are in the yellow zone, I hope there will be self-discipline in the next few hours. If I have to make a purchase, I do not stay with the crowd, I do not create a crowd. ”Thus, the Minister of Regional Affairs Francesco Boccia to Sky Tg24 responding to a question about possible new restrictions already for next weekend.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry announces an intensification of controls. Given the intensification of trips during the weekend, they have planned “specific services on the road and motorway network and, to avoid concentrations, in railway stations, ports and airports, as well as in public transport terminals. “This was decided in the course of the National Commission of Public Order and Security, which examined the measures to be adopted for Christmas, also foreseeing a” strengthening ” territorial control activities “also in relation to street crimes, which may increase due to the greater movement of people and goods.” More controls in restaurants and nightlife areas. This was decided during the meeting of the Public Order and Security Commission chaired this morning by Minister Luciana Lamorgese. For “the prevention of the risk of contagion – says the Interior Ministry – targeted control actions will affect public places and entertainment, as well as areas where young people usually gather.”
