The possibility of a real one will be discussed at the meeting. ‘curfew‘in some areas of Genoa and in the urban centers of Liguria where the spread of the virus is greatest. Once the decisions are made, the plan will be presented to the Prefecture.

For this we are acting and we will need all the support of the third sector.
Bucci: “Hypothesis of face-to-face classes for 50% of the students, in rotation”
“For schools we are verifying the possibility of giving lessons in the presence of 50 percent of the students and at a distance for the other 50 percent, perhaps in rotation”: said Mayor Marco Bucci in the city hall, explaining that this solution has already been chosen in other regions. “This would help us to have even less crowded buses – observed the mayor – But we must have the authorization of the ministry, we cannot decide.”
Toti: “Without confinement, it is about limits to meetings”
«This afternoon, together with the mayor of Genoa, we see the proposals of our technical-scientific committee, Alisa: they are not true closures, as is known. For us we talk about any closing to the assembly from some areas of the city. “This was explained by the president of the Liguria region, Giovanni Toti, on the sidelines of the presentation of the Michelangelo exhibition at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, speaking of anticovid measures for the Ligurian capital, where the highest number of infections is currently registered in the region.
“It is a question, just in case, of preventing in some squares or streets, on particularly busy days, being able to stop there,” the governor specified. At the end of the day, a soft measure to prevent the fight against the pandemic from wiping out the economy ”. Toti added that “the data confirms a gigantic tracking work even today, with more than 6,000 swabs, confirming a significant circulation of the virus in Genoa and a substantial tranquility in the other provinces.”
Bassetti: “The curfew makes sense if it is local, not regional”
“I still argue that curfew, but I would call it a travel restriction, it makes sense if it is done at the city or even neighborhood level. Doing it for an entire region does not make sense. The situation in Bergamo and Brescia is very different from that of Milan.
So to Adnkronos Salute Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino hospital in Genoa and a member of the Ligurian Covid-19 working group, comments on Lombardy’s strategy, which provides for a 23:00 curfew at 05:00.
Alisa at work to increase hospital beds
“Alisa is activating some 200 beds that we believe will be fully operational during the first 10 days of November. But starting this week, in sections of about 30 beds, 5 or 6 structures will be activated in Genoa ». This was explained by the Governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti.
“The San Martino de Genova polyclinic, also this morning, has increased its receptivity by 30 places and,” added Toti, we are preparing other hospitals in the regional health system to convert to the covid effort, as soon as possible “.
Covid, ATP-schools agreements on buses. The “Chiavari” model
While the activation of the people counters with illuminated display continues in all possible means, ATP aims to limit the risks of overcrowding on buses during school entry and exit times by creating a system of control booths with school principals and local administrators.
A first model started and gave good results in Chiavari.
“When the ATP sent me the question, I joined the initiative,” he said. Claudio Garbarino, Managing Director of the Metropolitan City of Genoa -, relaunching it in the territory of the Metropolitan City ».
The Chiavari experience was excellent: “At the impulse of Mayor Marco Di Capua – said Andrea Geminiani, general coordinator of the ATP – we met with the schools who warned us of any changes in schedules.”
The Chiavari operations center is essential: “The staff receives communications and in the event of too full buses, the so-called ‘bis’ start up,” said Roberto Rolandelli, operations director.
Ligurian school office: «Diversified entries? We need flexibility “
“In our opinion, the key word should be flexibility and adaptation to the context in which we find ourselves.” Ettore Acerra, Director General of the Regional Office for Schools, comments on the scope of the phased entry envisaged by the Dpcm for secondary schools.
“We had a meeting with all the school directors of the second cycle – he explains – taking into account that many schools had already applied for staggered admission, as planned for the opening of the school year. But we need to find solutions that adapt to the context, those that may be good for Genoa may not be good for the other provinces ”.
For the CEO you have to find organizational solutions that also takes into account the transport system, which is not always able to guarantee schedules compatible with the needs of the schools.
«I will give an example – explains Acerra – If I have to get to La Spezia or Imperia from the side valleys, the public transport schedules are the same and I cannot have the children for hours in the middle of the road. We believe that the organizational solutions to be found must be related to territorial context and the transport system, otherwise we would have to wait for transport companies to reorganize and reschedule all schedules.
Next, the general director underlines how “the schools that already had a differentiation of accesses maintain the solutions already initiated, for the others we are working on practical solutions that allow everyone to go to school. In this sense we are also working with the provincial administrations ».
