The final decision is postponed to Friday in the Council of Ministers, also because to have a definitive picture of the new anti-Covid grip, more up-to-date data on infections are needed than the control room table gathered in the afternoon in Palazzo. Chigi under the presidency of Mario Draghi. And therefore, if the government decided to tighten the weekends as happened at Christmas, it is very unlikely that it will happen as soon as Saturday, since Draghi has ensured that each decision will be communicated well in advance so as not to damage further. the productive categories and allow citizens to organize themselves.
An hour and a half of debate on the opinion of the Scientific Technical Committee on the need for new restrictions and then the postponement until tomorrow pending more up-to-date data on the progress of infections that the Higher Institute of Health should send tonight.
There is no decision, therefore, at least until tomorrow on the changes to the Dpcm that came into effect just 4 days ago. The Prime Minister and the heads of delegation of the majority parties participated in the control room: Maria Stella Gelmini, Dario Franceschini for the Democratic Party, Elena Bonetti for Italy alive, Giancarlo giorgetti for the League, the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza (Leu) and ministers Daniele franco, Stefano Patuanelli, Patrizio Bianchi. The Undersecretary of State for the Presidency of the Council was also present at Palazzo Chigi Roberto Garofoli, The secretary general Roberto Chieppa, the head of the Dragon Cabinet, Antonio Funiciello, the president of the Higher Institute of Health, Silvio Brusaferro, and the director of the Higher Council of Health, Franco Locatelli.
Talks are also scheduled for tomorrow with the Regions, which are also divided on whether to adopt more restrictive measures at the national level or only selective ones. The new postponement increasingly calls into question the hypothesis that any new measure, starting with the contraction of weekends, may come into effect as early as Saturday, given that the new government has made the communication of the measures one of its flags well in advance and that the times from now to the weekend are too close.
Blockade, is it a shock in the government: new closure as at Christmas or partial closures?

What worries the executive is the rebound in infections caused by variants of the coronavirus and the increase in patients admitted to therapy. Draghi’s intention, therefore, is to act quickly to prevent the collapse of wards in hospitals and speed up vaccinations. For this reason, the government will launch a new Dpcm on Friday. During this afternoon’s summit with the majority heads of delegation, the Prime Minister will try to seek mediation between prisons, such as Speranza and Franceschini, and those who would like softer measures such as the League.
The hypotheses that circulate during these hours are those of armored weekends, with closed restaurants and bars, and automatic red zones when the incidence of weekly cases exceeds 250 per 100,000 inhabitants (or in the case of outbreaks due to the new variants). However, those taking the penalties would like a total lockdown for at least three weeks. The presidents of the region, who will meet tomorrow with Ministers Sperana and Gelmini, agree on the need for a new squeeze.
