New Dpcm, Emilia Romagna in the balance between orange and green zone – Chronicle



[ad_1]

Bologna, November 4, 2020 – The only certainty, for now in Emilia-Romagna, it’s the national curfew. The new Dpcm has been signed by Prime Minister Conte who resisted the latest pressure from the Regions and, late at night, signed the decree establishing a regime of differentiated closings depending on the contagion risk band to which a Region belongs. But to set the map contagion areas we will have to wait another 24 hours, since it will be done based on data problem from today.

The decree was signed after hours of meeting. between the Government and the Regions. Stefano bonaccini leads the video conference for hours. Headphones and video camera, despite the ‘management’ of the Covid that struck him. But the color of our region, orange or green, is at stake.

Be green, in Emilia-Romagna there will be ‘just’ a curfew and other restrictions finally decided by viale Aldo Moro; yes it’s orange, drastic decisions will be made. Read the closure of the premises if it is not for take out food and home deliveries and the prohibition to move from the municipality of residence except for work, health or urgency and necessity reasons. In a word: confinement.

Dpcm, Conte has signed. All measures – New Dpcm, Regions against Conte

Hideout it’s violent and it starts in the morning. Cautious optimism, then the situation is confused: the Government seems to place all the territories in which the risk factor is compatible with the ‘scenario 3’ in the ‘orange’ zone: Rt (the ‘famous’ replication index) between 1.25 and 1.5 (in the region we are slightly less than 1.5) and a “sustained and generalized transmissibility with risks to the health system in the medium term.” However, the Undersecretary of Health Sandra Zampa calls for calm and excludes scenarios of total closure for our region.

The 19, However, on the mobile phones of Emilian politicians and executives the ruling of the Higher Institute of Health is reaffirmed: Emilia-Romagna is classified in orange, therefore, in health language, with an assessment of “moderate risk with high probability of progression “.

But in language every day, what does this mean? Closing of activities such as bars, pastry shops, ice cream parlors and restaurants throughout the day (excluding dining rooms and continuous catering), with the possibility of home delivery “complying with health and hygiene regulations for both packaging and transport activities”, and until 10pm, catering “with food to go, with prohibition of consumption in the place or in the vicinity”. In addition, prohibition for citizens of “any movement with public or private means of transport, in a municipality other than that of residence, domicile or domicile, except for proven work needs, to study, for health reasons, for situations of need or to carry out activities or use services that are not suspended and not available in that municipality. ”That is, self-certification.

Every 20.30, however, a new scenario: the Government would have identified 5 red zones, 6 oranges and 8 ‘best’. Among the latter, Emilia-Romagna: it would mean, for at least a week, green and not orange.

Then the meeting between the Government and the Regions ends, but the image is not clear, even if the direction of the Ministry of Health were that – for now – so as not to drastically aggravate the antivirus measures in Emilia. Late at night, the reservation about the color and, therefore, about the measures has not yet been dissolved. And also any mini red area (as in the Modena area where cases are skyrocketing) for now they will wait.

Yes Emilia-Romagna if it ended in orange, it would be a tough decision, both politically (Bonaccini fought like a lion against indiscriminate closures) and organizationally. Not only that, yesterday the governor asked “homogeneous measures” and a comparison between the Ministry and the Regions for “data analysis for classification of regions”. Our health system is probably the one that best resists the impact of the Coronavirus, so much so that it has convinced the Government to create the national intensive care center in Via Emilia. And severe cases have an employment rate below the psychological threshold of 30% (27%). That is why orange, in Emilia-Romagna, is not the new black. Orange doesn’t go well with everything.
