The government is studying measures after the new increase in infections in Italy. The Ministry of the Interior writes to the prefects: if necessary, the Army will also be in action for anti-assembly controls. The executive has on the table the draft of the next dpcm ready to be released on Wednesday, October 7. It is also thought of possible territorial closures that are increasingly located if the Rt index rises too much above 1. The opening hours of the premises, in particular of restaurants and pubs, are monitored
Directed controls, patrols against concentrations and even military personnel in the field to verify compliance with regulations, such as the obligation of masks. But also generalized mini-blocks to stop the increase in breakouts. In Italy, the coronavirus (THE SPECIAL – LIVE UPDATES) has started to spread again at a more worrying rate in recent weeks. And the government is moving to try to limit the further spread of the infection. The Ministry of the Interior is ready to provide more support, with extraordinary activities and, if necessary, the help of the army (THE SITUATION IN ITALY: MAPS AND GRAPHS).
The new dpcm is coming
The latest bulletin from the Ministry of Health registered 2,844 new cases in 24 hours. Such a high number had not been produced since last April 24. New precautions are on the way. The executive has on the table the draft of the next dpcm ready to be released on Wednesday, October 7. Several hypotheses circulate: from the obligation of outdoor masks throughout the country to the possible limitations in the closing hours of pubs and restaurants, to the strict regulations on the quota of presences in sports and recreational facilities such as theaters and cinemas (although the president of ANICA, Francesco Rutelli, affirms that “the government has assured us that for the moment this is not on the agenda”).

The government is also working on the hypothesis of selective and increasingly localized closures. In fact, some mini-closures – with the bars closed from 6 to 6 the next day and the suspension of barbers and hairdressers – have already been arranged in some territories. The latter are foreseen with an ordinance of Basilicata nel Potentino, until October 13 for the municipalities of Tramutola and Marsicovetere.
The Ministry of the Interior also moves
In the rest of the country, controls, at the express request of the Ministry of the Interior, will be increasingly strict. The chief of staff of the Ministry of the Interior, Bruno Frattasi, sent a circular to the prefects in order to take all the initiatives within their competence to limit the risk of contagion. The circular reiterates “the commitment of the Police Forces to ensure compliance with the anti-Covid provisions through the general prevention services that characterize the activities of control of the territory, as well as the possibility of targeted controls in relation to the areas urban areas and at the busiest times “. If that was not enough, the military will also go out into the field. Control activities can be modulated – says the circular – “with the regular collaboration of local police operators and with the possible help of military personnel belonging to the ‘Safe Roads’ device, within the framework of the corresponding Employment Plan'” .

In this context, an “ad hoc” plan could be evaluated for Campania, one of the regions with the highest population density and now with the highest number of daily infections. Governor Vincenzo De Luca, who will meet with the Interior Minister and the Chief of Police in the Viminale, will ask for it in the next few hours: in the next few days a significant increase in patrols, selective controls and more sanctions will be ordered. Same requests from the mayor of Benevento, Clemente Mastella, who asked the prefect for the help of the army during the weekend also in his city. Even in the capital, the controls are now in full swing, especially in nightlife venues, just hours after the regional ordinance on the obligation to wear an outdoor mask. After Campania, Lazio, Sicily, Calabria, Piedmont and Basilicata, from the road to the minor limitations depending on the meeting places, now even in the Marches that do not use the device will be fined.
