Liguria. “Our region is straddling the yellow zone and the orange zone. The Rt index is around 1, since every Friday we play it to the last decimal place ”. President Giovanni toti It confirms that Liguria, apart from new pressures on the government table at this time, next week could see the closures of bars and restaurants in addition to the usual travel bans.



The decisive data will be, as always, those of the Follow-up of the control room Iss-Ministry of Health carried out on Friday, referring to the week of March 1 to 7. “Certainly, the highest value is within the confidence interval of the RT is in the orange zone, we still don’t know if the lowest value will be in the yellow zone or not ”, Toti explains. And if this last figure is equal to or greater than 1, with a moderate risk level as highlighted by the report of the previous week, the return in orange will be assured.

Meanwhile, however, on Friday The Council of Ministers will also evaluate the adoption of new restrictive measures at the national level., as requested by the Scientific Technical Committee. Tomorrow at 10 in the morning the confrontation with the Regions is scheduled in which Toti will also sit. Yesterday the experts asked for atightening of the measures, starting next weekend, to slow down the spread of the virus driven by the variants: stiffer red zones, Codogno model, limited movements even in the yellow zone, closes on weekends, as happened during the Christmas holidays. And, at the same time, extension of the vaccination campaign to the largest possible number of subjects and in the shortest time.

For this Liguria, regardless of the decision on the orange zone next week, could find itself semi-armored as early as this weekend.. Hypothesis that Toti obviously does not like: “Is not acceptable if the whole country receives the same treatment. Obviously we will respect the rules, but I do not understand why a region today in the white zone should be subject to the same rules as those in a different situation. We have always assumed the responsibility of intervening in a painful and focused way ”.

After the measures taken in the Imperia area, in fact, the situation seems to have come back under control. “We knew it would take about ten days to see the effects and, in fact, the incidence has started to decline. The rise that worried us has now stopped and the bed occupancy rate is also quite stable, ”he explained. Filippo Ansaldi, director of prevention of Alisa. The Ventimiglia district has gone from 5 cases out of 10,000 inhabitants per day to 3 cases out of 10,000, while the average in Liguria is around 2 cases out of 10,000.
