ROME A light at the end of the tunnel. For four days Lombardy and Piedmont they have “technically” entered the orange zone. If the fall in the contagion rate continues smoothly, in ten days they will be out of the confinement and restrictive measures can be relaxed. “The first regions to enter the red zone should also be the first to exit,” he confirms. Roberto Speranza. The Health Minister says it with relief mixed with concern, in front of the daily bulletin of infected and dead: “There is a slowdown and this week it will be important to see if it continues and what is the number of hospitalizations. But we are not yet facing a withdrawal from the virus. The situation is still very serious, no Italian region is in the green zone. We need the utmost caution.
That is why new restrictive measures are being implemented throughout Italy and other regions, in addition to Abruzzo, run the risk of entering the worst range. First of all Puglia. However, the governors are determined to change the rules. And today they could deliver Minister Francesco Boccia the request for faster procedures.
The Lombardy has fallen to a lower level of risk last Friday, but according to the current decree, the red or orange zones require 14 days of “permanence in the scenario of lower risk” before the de-escalated. Therefore, the actual exit from the red zone cannot take place before Friday 27. Also in Piedmont there is a reversal of the trend and that is why pressure has started on the government to shorten exit times. In Lombardy, however, the epidemiological situation is highly varied so it is possible that areas of greatest distress may remain red. “The Dpcm allows it – confirms Speranza -. It is an assessment that we will have to make. The Conference of the Regions is convened for today at the request of the President of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga, who attacks: “The meeting will finally serve to discuss the criteria applied by the Technical-Scientific Committee regarding the data provided at the regional level.” We could also talk about extending the opening hours of stores the night before Christmas.
As of tomorrow Abruzzo is in the red zone by decision of President Marco Marsilio and Puglia has also entered the risk range on which it will be decided on Friday. The concern is the speed with which the virus continues to spread despite restrictive orders signed in recent days by Governor Michele Emiliano. The president of the Bari Medical College, Filippo Anelli, calls for a total closure and it is not ruled out that the President of the Region decides to follow in Marsilio’s footsteps. The president of Abruzzo has chosen to “apply the discipline of the red zones”, leaving the schools open. A decision thanked by Minister Roberto Speranza. In Calabria and Basilicata instead, all lessons were suspended.
the Lazio resists in the yellow band, but the increase in positives with respect to tampons and the number of hospitalized are worrying: 3,100 compared to 5,500 beds. The places are there and the situation is under control, but President Nicola Zingaretti it fears saturation and has moved through time with restrictive ordinances. They also remain yellow Veneto, Sardinia, Molise and the province of Trento. “The infections continue to grow, but the speed has slowed down – explains the Minister of Health -. The RT is just above 1, we expect it to be the last part of the climb to the plateau. On Friday, the government control room will examine all data coming in from the regions and the health minister could sign new restrictive ordinances. The first stage of the weekly monitoring is scheduled for today, when the Technical-Scientific Committee will begin update territory data. Lombardy and Piedmont will conclude on Friday first two weeks locked up and the experts do not rule out that, under the Dpcm, they could return to the orange band, where the restrictive measures are less severe. With the positive rate of tampons rising to 18% nationwide, scientists warn against rapid loosening: greater saturation of beds would require a change in hospital acceptance policies, “which would lead to privileging the most severe cases with the consequent increased mortality of those who cannot be treated in time.
