The governor’s ordinance is scheduled for Oct. 20 or 21. Palaces: we guarantee economic activities and social life
MANTOVA. Curfew from 11 pm to 5 am starting Thursday and closing on weekends for medium and large non-food distribution. These are the two measures agreed by the Region, by the mayors of the Lombard capitals and by the leaders of the majority and opposition group to Pirellone and backed by the Lombard Technical Scientific Committee. At the base of the decision to tighten the measures contained in Conte’s Dpcm are “the rapid evolution of the epidemiological curve” and the forecast of regional technicians according to which “as of October 31 there could be about 600 hospitalized in intensive care and up to 4,000 at the UN “. intensive. “Fontana’s ordinance is scheduled for October 20 or 21, hours after the Lombard governor discussed it with Health Minister Speranza.
“We found the summary of the measures to take – explains the mayor Mattia palazzi after two hours of debate via streaming – We all agree on measures that guarantee economic activity and social life and we take a step beyond the Dpcm because the Lombard situation deserves it ». The decision to converge on more restrictive measures than those decreed by the government stems from the speed of spread of the infection in Lombardy, although it differs from one province to another. “Data related to infections and hospitalizations are increasing throughout Lombardy – says Palazzi, but in some provinces it is alarming and in others not. We are in this second category, but they should not be underestimated as well because in this second wave the virus is affecting a younger age group. This means increasing the chances of contagion because young people have more contacts than an older person.
Regarding the agreed measures, Palazzi maintains the strictest confidentiality. According to a note from Lombardia News, the regional news agency, the mayors agreed to stop all activities and travel throughout Lombardy from 23:00 to 05:00 starting Thursday, October 22. “Exceptional” movements are excluded, that is, those that have reasons of health, work and demonstrated need at the base (as was the case during the long lockdown last spring). Some mayors had pressed to advance the curfew to 9:00 p.m., but after a heated discussion mediation was found at 11:00 p.m. The hypothesis of the closure, on Saturdays and Sundays, of the medium and large commercial distribution was also shared, except for the exercises of food and basic needs.
“We will not take repressive measures, but only preventive and common sense so that the city lives in a controlled and safe way.” This is how Mayor Mattia Palazzi spoke about moving the Thursday market from downtown to Te, last Sunday pending the decree of the president of the council of ministers. The next day the position did not change. Especially after the decree, at night, after the raising of shields of the first citizens, the power of the mayors to order the curfew in their cities and towns disappeared. The Municipality, for now, before the spread of the virus intends to act on its own in the weekly markets, so much so that the councilor for productive activities Iacopo Rebecchi, met yesterday Thursday with street vendors and will soon do the same with those of the three farmers markets. from piazza Broletto, piazza Martiri and Borgochiesanuova.
In the meantime, checks by local city police on compliance with regional and state regulations will continue. «We must – says Palazzi – sensitize people and especially the youngest to use the mask. For this reason, the agents will continue to monitor the train station and bus passers-by where there is a greater concentration of students. During the weekends, controls will be increased at nightlife venues: “We have already allocated the funds for the overtime of the agents – announces Rebecchi, who also has the delegation to the local police -. So far the locals have respected the law.
