New dpcm, Conte’s speech: “We cannot be indifferent to the data. The Rt index of infection has reached a critical threshold. The stress in the health system is worrying”

“The latest epidemiological data we have analyzed they cannot leave us indifferent. The analysis indicates a rapid growth with the consequence that the stress in the national health system has reached worrying levels ”. The first Minister Giuseppe Conte, during the press conference live now from Palazzo Chigi, illustrated the content of the dpcm that will come into effect from midnight. “The Rt index of infection has reached the critical threshold of 1.5. We must do everything possible to protect health and the economy, ”he said. “From here the need for more restrictive measures, which will go into effect this afternoon until November 24 ”.

“The objective is clear, we want to keep the epidemiological curve under control because only then will we be able to manage the pandemic without feeling overwhelmed by it. But this means offering an effective response and adequate care to all citizens and avoiding a generalized lockdown, which the country can no longer afford ”. Among all, Conte focused on “closing theaters, concert halls and cinemas”: “It was a particularly difficult decision, among others.” Then he specified: “We haven’t introduced a curfew, It is not a word that we love but we recommend that you move only for reasons of work, health, study and need. and not receiving people who are not members of the family at home. “

Financial assistance – Among the immediate measures planned to help those most affected by the measures, Conte mentioned: confirmation of layoffs, additional monthly payment of emergency income and support measures for agri-food chain that will be affected by the closure of restaurants. “The soft drinks will go directly to the current account of those directly affected by bank transfer ofRevenue agency“He said.” They will come new grants. There will be a commercial rental tax credit for the months of October and November. The second installment of Imu that expires on December 16 will be canceled. The layoffs offered are also confirmed a new one-time monthly allowance for seasonal tourism, entertainment and intermittent work in the world of sports, an additional monthly payment of emergency income and measures to support the agri-food chain ”. For this reason, he guaranteed: “The compensation is ready for all those who will be sanctioned. The new indemnities are all additional to those already in force and we hope to go to the Official Gazette on Tuesday. Let’s see if the CDM will be on Monday or Tuesday ”. Despite this, he said: “Nadef’s accounts for now I would say they are not altered. There is no need to change the public finance framework already approved by Parliament. If we can keep the curve under control, I don’t see any prospect of making any further detours. ” In addition, he said again: “It will be offered a new monthly allowance specific jobs for seasonal tourism, entertainment, intermittent sports jobs “.

“I realize the sacrifices we ask of many categories” – “The country is very tired. The pandemic feels anger and frustration. I am aware of the sacrifices we ask of so many categories ”. But, he concluded, “Italy is a great country, we tested it last spring, we made it in the first phase and we will make it even now. In this way we will be able to face December and the Christmas holidays with greater serenity ”.

“This government, despite the variety of sensitivities and positions, has a very clear objective and these measures draw a clear picture: we do not want to directly penalize the productive and economic fabric but at the same time If we do not toughen up these measures, it will be difficult for us to face them this November. We trust that in November we will suffer a little but then we will breathe again. I have always said, we will do everything necessary to keep the epidemiological curve under control, with adequacy and proportionality. The Minister of Health and I have had a long confrontation with Professor Brusaferro and the interpretation of the data advised us to intervene ”.

“Already in December the first doses of vaccines” – The measures set out, Conte repeated, do not exclude that the Regions choose autonomously to apply even more restrictive measures: “The data we are examining says that the pandemic is developing in a uniform and critical way throughout Italy. Hence the government intervention to redefine the framework of restrictive measures. And in the coming days we will be able to let the regions agree with us on more restrictive measures ”.

“With this framework of measures we trust being able to face the month of December more extensively. We would like to arrive at Christmas with a calm disposition ”. If the measures are sufficient? “I hope so but it is certainly not that at Christmas, even if the first doses of vaccines arrive, we can all hug each other and have parties and parties. But the important thing is to arrive calmly ”. The prime minister confirmed that the first anticavula vaccines should arrive in December and will be administered to the most fragile and most exposed categories, such as health professionals. “The European Commission has stipulated contracts that already provide for the first doses of vaccines in December, if these commitments are confirmed we will be able to intervene immediately to distribute the vaccines to the most fragile categories and to health workers who are exposed to danger.”

About the protests who were in Naples the first night of the curfew, Conte commented: “There are protests and God forbid: if I were also on the other side, I would feel angry about the government measures, even if I would say wait and see the economic support that will be conspicuous. ” But we must be careful “because we must not offer space to professionals of protest and social unrest.”

we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our job conscientiously, we do a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, interviews with experts, surveys, videos and much more.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer hundreds of new content to all citizens for free every day. But advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited revenue. Not in line with the boom in access to ilfattoquotidiano.it. That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
