“If there is a swell, or a variant that makes the RT jump, then we will easily find ourselves in the red zone or with more restrictive measures.” What could happen after January 6, explains Giuseppe Conte speaking with “Porta a Porta” where he announces the prospect of returning to the division by colored bands and does not rule out a greater repression if the third wave prophesied by more than one virologist . “If the experts tell us that the probability of a third wave in January is real, I don’t think twice about introducing and strengthening the safety net.” Also because, says the prime minister, “by letting it go, we will impact an increase” in the Covid pandemic.

Caution
Conte, however, remains optimistic and believes that thanks to the measures introduced for Christmas, with the country in the red zone on holidays, “perhaps we should face January-February with some tranquility”. With the reinforcement of the “protective belt” -continues the premier- in January we will be able to “dose the measurements with salis of grain only where necessary between the yellow, orange and red zones”. Regarding the possibility of making the vaccine mandatory, Conte acts with caution, reminding us that “there is a principle of self-determination for which any treatment must be voluntary. We – he specifies – are now implementing the plan: if we discover that the population does not submit, it will be a problem and then we will have to face it. The Ministry of Health has already estimated a first positive impact on 10-15 million vaccinated. The prime minister’s forecast is that it will be possible to get there in April. “And if there was a massive refusal …” Conte extends his arms postponing the answer. After explaining that he believes that the vaccination obligation is not necessary for now, the premier does not intend to go further in the provisions on closings and openings. Including the possible resumption of ski facilities at the end of January. “The forecasts do not make much sense,” says Conte, who instead gives more certainty about the vaccine distribution plan and believes that regional administrations will also do their part. Also because Undersecretary Sandra Zampa says there will be a “vaccine for everyone” since the government has reserved “202 million doses.” The wait is the scheduled start of the vaccination campaign for Sunday “the largest ever seen in the world and in Europe and clearly in our country”, emphasizes the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza.

Anxious
Yesterday’s data seem to coincide with Conte’s cautious optimism. With more than 175,000 tests, the positives were 14,522 with 553 deaths. More than 70,000 deaths have been registered since the emergency began. Half refer to the March wave, while 35,000 refer to the second one that started immediately after the summer and has not ended yet. The positivity rate is essentially stable and remains constant at 8.2%. The regions that are doing the best are those that have closed the most in recent days, such as Tuscany, Umbria and Valle d’Aosta. In difficulty, Veneto remained in the “yellow-plus” zone for a long time, as stated by the president of the region Luca Zaia, who now faces a growing number and an intensive care occupancy rate of 35%. Trentino is going through more or less the same difficulties, while Sardinia and Puglia have reached their peak and Lazio begins to see the Rt index fall. What gives hope, and what Commissioner Domenico Arcuri highlights, is that according to the data confirms that “the trend of infections has been decreasing for thirty days and that the infection curve remains frozen”. Arcuri also announces for January “a very invasive and hopefully very persuasive communication campaign about vaccines. We will have a call center, a site. Above all, we will have to contact fragile people and we will be able to reach them with the regional health system with a health card and other tools ”.
