Back to class – The approval of the control room was given by virtue of a general improvement in the data that, Minister Speranza stressed, “still require the greatest attention” but allow the adoption of a measure “that wants to give a very relevant signal to a strategic and decisive piece of our company. ”In the Orange Territories, all students through eighth grade and 50% of high school students will be in the classroom.
Tar “against” dad in the red zone – The day of the announcement of Mario Draghi, however, the TAR ruling of Lazio also arrives, which with an order suspends the validity of the Dpcm of March 2, exactly what Dad had ordered in all the schools of the Regions in the area red. The Regional Administrative Court, accepting the appeal filed by a group of students and parents, established that the Prime Minister must review the decree in the part related to the closure of the institutes before April 2 due to an evident lack of investigation. For the students, nothing changes at the moment, while the government will be preparing the new decree in these days that will take effect on April 7. The rules, with the exception of the novelty already anticipated by Draghi for the red areas, must follow those that are already in force.
Lazio orange, schools open from Tuesday – Lazio deserves a separate discussion, the only Region that will change to orange starting next week, but that will reopen schools until the eighth grade only from Tuesday. This is because the current ordinance placing the Region in the red zone will expire at midnight between Monday and Tuesday.
Measures and restrictions – At a general level, meanwhile, the government confirms the line of maximum rigor even after Easter. Until April 30, therefore, there are no movements between Regions, blinds still down for bars and restaurants, reopening of gyms, swimming pools, cinemas and theaters at a later date, yellow zone canceled until the end of the month. “The measures adopted so far have given us the first sign of a slowdown, but the situation remains delicate,” Speranza said.
Tensions in the majority – The decision to extend the squeeze for another month was shared in the control room, but still generated tensions in the majority. “It is unthinkable to keep Italy closed even throughout the month of April,” said Matteo Salvini, asking the Prime Minister, “in the name of the common sense that distinguishes it and above all of the medical and scientific data”, to consider the possibility of reopening with certainty the activities at least in those regions and cities “with the sanitary situation under control”.
Draghi: “Constant monitoring” – The closures “are conceivable or unthinkable only based on the data. It is desirable to reopen, the decision to do it or not depends on the data”, answered Draghi at a press conference, leaving, however, one ray open: he will not supervise “week to week week “and, if the numbers allow,” changes in progress “cannot be ruled out.
The extension of the decree – Therefore, the government will extend the current decree in force at the beginning of next week, after Monday’s meeting with the Regions, and will assess the trend of the infection curve no later than the middle of the month. In any case, it is likely that until April 30, when the state of emergency in force since January of last year expires, nothing will change. That will be the occasion to define the duration of the extension and a gradual panorama of the reopening.
Brusaferro: “There is a slowdown in the curve” – Currently, in fact, the epidemiological situation is the one that the coordinator of the CTS Franco Locatelli and the president of the Higher Institute of Health Silvio Brusaferro illustrated to the ministers. The curve slows down, the Rt index falls from 1.16 to 1.08 and we begin to see the first signs of stabilization and a slight decrease in cases and incidence. A decline that however “does not allow a reduction in current measures” and which, on the contrary, still requires a “drastic reduction in physical interactions and mobility” to be able to consolidate.
The map of Italy, with five high-risk regions and 13 with the RT above 1, therefore it remains orange-red. Calabria, Tuscany and Valle D’Aosta join the band with the maximum restrictions, where Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Marche, Veneto, the province of Trento and Puglia are already located. Region, the latter, where President Michele Emiliano signed an ordinance that introduces more restrictions: do not travel to second homes, stores close at 6 in the afternoon, increasing smart work for public employees.
Orange regions – Lazio, which has a Rt of 0.97, has moved to orange since Tuesday. There are, therefore, eight Regions in this strip, in addition to the province of Bolzano, although in many there are entire municipalities in the red zone. In Sicily, for example, President Nello Musumeci signed the ordinance for three municipalities in the Agrigento area – Comitini, Racalmuto and Siculiana – and Centirupe nell’Ennese, joining Caltavuturo and San Mauro Castelverde. In Sardinia, by contrast, there are seven, with Pozzomaggiore in the Sassari province joining Golfo Aranci, Uri, Bono, Sindia, Samugheo and Sarroch.
The crack – When announcing the extension of the restrictions, Draghi however makes it clear that perhaps the end of the tunnel is beginning to be seen. He does so by answering those who ask him if he would advise Italians, as did the Minister of Tourism Massimo Garavaglia, to book their summer holidays. “I agree with him, if I could go on vacation I would gladly go there.”
