AGI – December 24, 25, 26, 30, New Years Eve, January 1 and January 6. I am days circled in red for the government that met on Sunday night to make an assessment of the epidemiological situation. The meeting between Prime Minister Conte and the heads of delegation was updated on Monday, when a discussion will take place with the Scientific Technical Committee that insists on the need to tighten the shirts even more. Based on what we have learned, the hypothesis on which we are working is to apply the measures now in force in the red and orange areas also for the ‘yellow’ regions on certain days when there is a risk of greater overcrowding.
The evaluation of which days is yet to be defined. But the objective – explains a government source – is to apply the ‘Merkel model’ that evoked a hard confinement introducing stricter anti-Covid measures. Above all, Ministers Boccia and Franceschini were in the ‘rigorist’ line, but also, as is known, Prime Minister Conte and the other political forces of the majority. It is necessary to think of measures against meetings. Therefore, at the proposal of Minister Bonafede, head of the M5 delegation, it was decided to hold a meeting with the CTS and the Minister of the Interior at 10 in the morning to find out what the current situation is from the point of view of risks for health and if a concern about the risk of meetings. As for the stop between trips on super vacations, it was decided, again according to what we learn, to understand exceptions but only for small municipalities.
Tight in stores?
The possibility of adopting more stringent measures on public holidays was evaluated in light of the reunion scenes especially in big cities. Hence the decision of a new hardening that could affect the days of the Christmas holidays precisely to avoid a third wave that – this is the ‘refrain’ that emerged in the meeting between the heads of delegation and Prime Minister Conte – would be devastating for the Recovery. As for the exemptions for Christmas trips, we are thinking of municipalities with 5,000 inhabitants within a 30 km radius.
The summit was updated on Monday. There will be a discussion with the CTS and with Minister Lamorgese to define the measures. The possibility of extending the measures now applied for the red and orange zones also to the yellow regions on critical days in the ‘Merkel model’ would therefore lead to a ‘compression’ of the stores. “We have to avoid the scenes we saw today,” explains a minister. The need to contemplate new measures was also discussed today at a meeting of the Democratic Party.
But while the rigorist wing is pushing to extend the pressure as much as possible, there are also those in government who would like to leave restaurants open for lunch. “Let’s talk with the scientific community and decide on coherent and understandable measures”, the position of Minister Bellanova, as learned. “Even more restrictive than the current ones, if necessary, but understandable. Because only in this way will citizens be induced to respect them ”, he reasons.
