The mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando, announced that a new ordinance will come into force in the Sicilian capital from Friday, November 13: from 16 to 22 it will not be possible to “park in the city center”, while on Saturdays and Sundays the prohibition will be in force throughout the day. In the pedestrian areas you can only walk or queue to enter the shops. The measure also extends the ban to all Beaches (on the weekend).
Palermo, ban on parking on the street: what the order says
The ordinance will be valid for the historic center and in the districts of Libertà and Politeama every day from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays throughout the day. The same measure during the weekend extends to the coastal areas, so it will not be possible to park on the beach. But the additional measures also affect other aspects of urban life:
- smart working up to 100% in municipal offices;
- reactivation of the reservation system in the gardens and areas parks municipal;
- intensification of controls and greater penalties to combat illicit activities in markets local and weekly;
- evaluation of the possibility of closing the schools
Orlando has defined the necessary “security” measures. Then he appealed to citizens, “to stay home as long as possible. We run the risk, in the absence of adequate sanitary facilities, of not being able to contain the increase in infections. There are areas of Italy where the red zone has been declared due to the lack of sufficient and adequate sanitary facilities ”. With reference to Calabria.
The first citizen of Palermo said he was very concerned about public health, and that is why he chose to resort to another ordinance. Orlando also sent a note to the Regional Directorate of Education and the Regional School Directorate: there is a risk that in Palermo all compulsory schools will close without guarantees about their safety. As already decided by the mayor of Bagheria, which opted for the closure of the institutions due to the high percentage of infections.
In Sicily, in the last 24 hours, 1,201 new coronavirus positives were registered, of the 8,856 swabs made: 13.56%. 32 people died, the total death toll is 735. The city with the most new positives is not Palermo (second 197), but Catania (308), which precedes Agrigento (260).
Dpcm, change monitoring: more timely data
Attention, then, to the measures imposed at the governmental level, therefore by Dpcm. The Control Room of the Higher Institute of Health would have recognized the need to carry out a surveillance with more timely and responsive data to the current situation, also evaluating elements such as ‘hospital resilience’.
Therefore, the monitoring system itself was updated, which led in particular to the rapid inclusion of places in intensive care and the medical area, in addition to hospital resilience and the probability of exceeding critical bed occupancy thresholds (ie say, if it exceeds 50% in the 30-day projections). The new measures, therefore, will take into account the data of the last week (no more than the last 14 days) and the admissions of the previous day. Then projections will be made with the two-week admission data.
