ANCONA – One week, the last of October, with a decidedly low Coronavirus infection rate – 1.01 – which also caused a brief sigh of relief in the Region. Then, in the first seven days of November, the RT jumped to 1.55 with the discovery of some Covid outbreaks (such as those in nursing homes) and from that moment, for Roman experts, the Marches were automatically candidates for the orange zone. .
The one that will close restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors and patisseries starting tomorrow, allowing only take-out food and home deliveries. But especially the one that relegates 1.5 million citizens within the municipal limits.
Bitterness
“A serious and incomprehensible decision made without a minimum of confrontation,” exclaimed Governor Francesco Acquaroli at the end of a difficult day – yet another – spent in relation to Prime Minister Conte. “We did not expect it. In the biweekly average, which generally guides the elections, our Rt was 1.35. Not only. In recent days, infections have remained stable although high and even hospitalizations in intensive care have not suffered great variations ”. Ultimately, there was no need to be happy, but not even hypothesize this sudden change of scenery. So much so that just yesterday the governor was studying an ordinance against social gatherings to be brought today, when – around 4 pm – the communication from Minister Speranza arrived, anticipating the transition to the intermediate range of restrictions. An icy shower. “This classification was not foreseen until the next day – insists the president of the Region – although in the last two days the number of positives has grown objectively, in particular the symptomatic ones”.
Criticism
The ministry already had it available on Tuesday and Acquaroli did not understand the weekly index that determined the shot towards orange: “They could tell us that we were moving from one area to another, we would also have had time to announce.” shift to all sectors involved in further tightening. But above all we would have had the opportunity to give our opinion. This morning at 10 the board will meet like every weekend to evaluate the progress of the Coronavirus in the Marches: the ordinance, the fifth, which should have had a strong impact on social gatherings, has already been filed. “From the beginning of the mandate we have tried to anticipate the prohibitions to stop the second pandemic wave – Acquaroli responds – and we were ready to intervene again, aware that we must stop the race of the virus and infections”. Yesterday the number of positives in Marche rose to 740, equivalent to 35.7% of the swabs performed in the new diagnostic route (2,073), while another eight Covid patients died (three of them with a diagnosis diagnosed in the last hours). The epidemiological observatory of Marche is analyzing the latest data at this time and tomorrow will have a clear picture of the situation of the last week. But from the available figures, it seems that there is a stabilization of cases in the region, which in any case remain very high: the multiplication of infections would have stopped, however, with an increase in symptoms. A detail of no small importance, which could put the health system in tension. The turning of the screw will have to serve to break a chain that continues to scare.
