Rome, December 18, 2020 – The bulletin of the Ministry of Health that photographs the daily progress of the Coronavirus in Italy with data on contagion, dead, cured and hospitalizations today provides us with new updated data to understand how the contagion curve advances (here the data of yesterday December 17). It is a key day for two reasons: at night the new Dpcm with restrictions for Christmas And like every Friday, Minister Speranza must sign the ordinances with Color change of the Regions. And by the way, the ISS weekly report reports that the Rt index goes back to 0.86.
For Christmas from December 24 to January 6, therefore, armored parties await us: Red zone of Italy on holidays and days before holidays, orange in the others. Tonight, the measures are to be illustrated by Prime Minister Conte. Also today there is the harsh attack on the government of the President of the Senate Elisabetta casellati: “The delay in the measures for Christmas is incomprehensible.”
December 27 they will come in Italy the first 9,750 doses of Pfizer vaccine. And what has been communicated, as it was learned, the commissioner for the emergency Domenico Arcuri. The doses will arrive at the Spallanzani hospital in Rome and from there the symbolic distribution will begin throughout Italy so that the vaccines can be administered in all regions on the same day.
Meanwhile Gianni rezza, General Director of Prevention of the Ministry of Health, highlights that the number of new cases is no longer decreasing: “The Rt index has stopped. In the first phase, vaccination of children is not planned.”
Going abroad, on the other hand, always impresses Germany with a double record infected and new deaths in 24 hours: 813, more than in Italy.
