It involves the institution of a curfew from 11 pm to 5 am and fines of 400 to 3,000 for violations. Self-certification is also provided for those who are forced to violate the driving ban for urgent or work-related reasons.

The text of the ordinance establishes that the provisions will come into force as of tomorrow, Thursday, October 22, “and will be effective until the adoption of a subsequent decree by the president of the Council of Ministers and, in any case, until 13 November 2020 “. “In the entire territory of the Lombardy Region, dfrom 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day, only transfers motivated by proven work needs or situations of need or urgency are allowed or for health reasons; in any case, it is allowed to return to the home, residence or residence “.

And “the existence of situations that allow the possibility of moving is the responsibility of the interested party. This burden can be met by making a self-declaration.” The measure is taken “in agreement” with the mayors of the Lombard capitals, with Anci Lombardia and Upl.

The “Covid-19 RL Indicators Commission”, “highlighted that as of October 31 -according to the curve of recent days- it is plausible that there are on average 594 (range 434 to 815) hospitalized in intensive care and up to 4000 hospitalizations not in intensive care “. Therefore, it is added in the order, “the tendency of the infections forces to adopt urgent specific restrictive measures, destined to contain the infection, with special attention to the night time slot”.

Violation of the curfew in Lombardy will be punished with the administrative penalty of paying a sum of 400 to 3,000 euros.

“No deceleration from Salvini”

What AGI learns of fountains of Palazzo Lombardia There was no slowdown imposed by the leader of the Lega, Matteo Salvini. The Region would have worked until last night with the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, on the part of ministerial competence.

Then there is the part of the ordinance relating to the powers of the President of the Region, Attilio Fontana. And it could not be closed last night, as we found out, because we had to listen to all the mayors of the provincial capitals and Anci, as had been decided.

The mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, spoke in the morning about the rumors of an alleged arrest of the Lombard governor by Matteo Salvini. I also read that President Fontana would have been taken by the ears of Salvini who would have been angry with this decision (the restrictions contained in the new ordinance, forthcoming, ed.) Of the Lombardy Region that contradicts his previous positions. I hope that President Fontana maintains the position he shared with all the mayors. “.

“In my opinion,” he added, “it is a value that at this stage the institutions speak and share decisions and I hope that it is not the elections of a party that change them, because here we are talking about the health of citizens and there is no it is a way of distancing ourselves from our responsibility ”.

Regarding the new provision, “I think it will arrive by tomorrow morning – Gori continues – as President Fontana promised us, after the entire Scientific Committee of the Region had been very clear in recent days, saying that in the next 15 days we will have Lombardy 600 people in intensive care and 4,000 people hospitalized for Covid, which are figures comparable to the first part of March, so the situation is worrying and, in my opinion, we need courage at this time. “

“Salvini spoke of interventions in favor of families, companies and travelers also to repair the serious deficiencies of the government. Nothing else ”, they also specified. Lega sources clarify the position of the leader of the Northern League after yesterday’s videoconference interview with the president of the Region Attilio Fontana about the measures that the region intends to take to combat the virus. Among these measures is also the curfew on which, according to some journalistic reconstructions, the doubts of the leader of the Northern League would have arrived.

Pd: Fontana is not influenced by the leader of the League

The Pd also intervened in the strictest Lombard measures: “Fontana and the Region do not take a step back and are not influenced by the dictates of Salvini ” he has declared the leader of the Democratic Party in the Lombardy Region, Fabio Pizzul, about the ordinance, with stricter measures to counter the spread of Covid, which should be defined today. “In the discussion – adds Pizzul – is the health of the Lombards, not the percentage of votes of a party. The ordinance arises from elections shared with mayors based on very peremptory indications from epidemiologists and this morning the alarmed declaration of the Professor Antonio Pesenti, coordinator of the Lombardy crisis unit, on the rate of growth of infections. Who does Fontana want to listen to, the technicians or the head of his party? In serious situations, great seriousness is needed “.

For the regional adviser for Action, Niccolò Carretta, “after the rumors transmitted by the press, I think Fontana should clarify if he is really waiting for the green light from the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini. If so, it would be a very serious choice. Given the situation in which hospitals and emergency rooms are in the Milan area, more drastic measures are needed to prevent the virus from spreading, in a way that is no longer controllable, throughout the region. Fontana pull straight and sign the ordinance you announced as soon as possible a few days ago because that’s what the Lombards expect. “
