Bars, pubs and restaurants close at 6:00 PM and curfew from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM until March. This is the scenario feared by the regional health counselor Alessio D’Amato. Who, in an interview with Il Messaggero, spoke of the risk of a third wave and the need to maintain restrictions until spring. “Naturally there will be interventions for activities that will remain closed, such as gyms, the world of culture, itinerant trade in markets,” he declared. “One thing must be clear: the measures adopted are and will always be proportional to the situation of the epidemic In Lazio we have been cautious and Rome today it is among the European capitals that, despite many difficulties, have suffered the least, thanks to the rigor of their behavior and also to the measures we have adopted. Now we must continue ”.
Rt target at 0.5 for January
According to the evaluator, it will take at least three months before thinking about making the measures more flexible. This because “virus is circulating, RT is not under control and the vaccination campaign will take time. “And if cases and hospitalizations decrease, Lazio still has around 1500 cases a day. Too many, compared to September. The goal is to arrive in January with a Rt of 0, 5: But it’s not taken for granted with these weeks of celebration ahead, and if people were moving like summer, the third wave is more of a certainty than a probability.
The covid vaccine will arrive in 2021
Regarding the vaccine, D’Amato explained that Lazio is preparing to have eight million doses for four million citizens (retirement will be necessary). “The goal is to achieve herd immunity, vaccination coverage it must be greater than 70%. It will be a complicated campaign, given the number of people involved, it will last until the end of 2021. We will start with vaccinations for health personnel at the hospital poles, then when we arrive at the end of spring at the peak of the campaign, we will need all the possible forces, from 4 thousand general practitioners to 1,500 pharmacies “.
