“Red zones” and specific closures to avoid total blockage. This is the government’s line regarding the increase in the number of infections. With a limit already established: the Rt index greater than 1.5 for three consecutive weeks. the level of alert, identified by scientists, the line beyond which it could be decided to tighten even for sectors considered strategic. But with an already established goal: to keep schools and productive activities open. That is why the focus is on the weekly monitoring of the Ministry of Health that will arrive this afternoon.
Intensive therapy
The data to be kept under control is that of hospitalizations, but especially of people who are in intensive care, a primary indicator to verify the health of the health system. It is essential not to let your breath run out. Only in this case could one think of closing everything but for now, experts say, we are far from such a scenario. And precisely so as not to raise the epidemiological curve any further, it was agreed that the governors sign more restrictive ordinances than national decrees, in order to isolate the outbreaks.
Buses and metro
Measures that will place nightlife areas, meeting places, at the top of the “black” list, including private parties without excluding possible limitations on the number of participants. But the focus is also on buses and the subway, which often travel at full capacity even though they should be 80 percent busy. With the obligation to wear a mask outdoors and indoors, the government hopes to curb the number of infections, aware that the positive results will not come soon. And that is why the Ministers of Regional Affairs Francesco Boccia and the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza are evaluating with the Regions and Municipalities those measures that could be expanded at the national level with the inclusion in the Dpcm to be signed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on Wednesday, October 15.
Nightlife checks
The Scientific Technical Committee yesterday highlighted the concern about epidemiological indices, underlining the need to keep an eye on the number of beds occupied in hospitals. The danger, in this the scientists are clear, refers to the aggregation of people. And in fact, the great criticism related to the aggregations of people and gatherings in public places or open to the public stands out, particularly criticism in indoor or outdoor environments during the afternoon hours or on weekends, suggesting the adoption of measures, also from control by law enforcement agencies designed to prevent them. Also because only in a couple of weeks we will have a clear picture of the effects caused by the reopening of schools. And it seems obvious that the number of new positives will continue to increase day by day. The model was applied yesterday with the order signed by Lazio Governor Nicola Zingaretti for Latina, with restrictions for all public events.
Bars and restaurants
Regions and trade associations opposed the early closure of bars and restaurants last week, but if the number of new positives continues to rise at this intensity, severe constraints will be inevitable. In addition to imposing closure at 11pm or midnight – in the belief that in this way it is possible to limit the movement of people and particularly young people in streets and squares with relative concentration – One of the hypotheses under study is the limitation of seats at the table precisely to favor distancing.
Private parties
The number of participants inevitably depends on the capacity of the venue, but one of the measures that could be taken refers to a capacity limit in public places which are intended for private birthday parties, but also those that follow weddings or baptisms where the number of participants is inevitably higher. For this reason, restrictions on meeting methods may apply, such as a ban on organizing buffets.
