Red zone for all areas where infections exceed 250 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per week and stricter measures for regions in the yellow zone. The government decides to approve a statute for replace the current Dpcm me activate the new rules on Monday, March 15the. With a certainty: Easter will be closed, as it happened with the Christmas holidays. For the official, we must wait for the analysis of the latest data and the comparison with the Regions set for this morning. Aim to keep the band system, adding some national restrictions that the rigorist wing considers indispensable because – as the Minister of Health emphasized Roberto Speranza – We still have difficult weeks ahead.
The new parameters
During the control room convened yesterday afternoon at Palazzo Chigi, it was reiterated that the analysis is based on data from the previous week, both in terms of RT and the maintenance of the sanitary facilities. The obvious risk: leaving in the areas of the yellow band where the incidence of Covid-19 is much higher. For this reason it was decided to adopt more reliable criteria. The first is that of the 250 cases out of 100,000 that trigger local closures. The other could take into account only a few indicators to determine the band change more quickly. In this case, the transmissibility index Rt would be examined, the occupation of intensive care facilities, the number of citizens vaccinated. Hope confirms this: we need calibrated measurements on a virus that now, with its variants, runs faster. The model built so far has worked, but that algorithm did not include the English variant.
Weekends
The Higher Institute of Health and the CTS have asked the government to limit movement and contact between citizens suggesting the same measure envisaged during the Christmas holidays: Saturday and Sunday orange band measures with bars and restaurants closed and a ban on leaving the Municipality itself. A system that the center-right does not like and therefore the decision will be made today, after the discussion with the Presidents of the Region.
The cellar of Passover
Shortly after, the squeeze already agreed will come to Easter week. As happened in December, scientists and ministers seem to agree that a holiday relaxation could lead to a very high spread of Covid-19. For this the decree will establish specific prohibitions in those seven days and in particular from Saturday, April 3 to Monday, April 5. Travel limited to the maximum, Lunches, meetings with several people who do not live together, will not be allowed. hostel. And it is not excluded – as happened at Christmas – that it is decided to close bars and restaurants.
The role of the Cts
Yesterday there were new rumors and rumors about possible changes in the composition of the Scientific Technical Committee. No decision has been made, but a reduction of the components could be decided in the coming days, which confirms that the structure has an advisory role and indicates to the government the way forward based on epidemiological data but the choice of measures to be applied remains political.
