All of Italy this morning woke up in the “red zone” in full squeeze to contain infections and avoid almost obvious gatherings for New Year celebrations. The strict bans will last, as anticipated by the Christmas Dpcm, until January 3 inclusive, on January 4 it will turn orange and red again on January 5 and 6. However, the focus is already on what will happen next. The boot will be divided into bands again: each region has a color that brings with it permits and prohibitions. And Sicily sees orange on the horizon: exactly as it happened when the government created the chromatic distinction.
New Year’s Eve in the red zone: what to do and what not
From January 7
It was the same Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, in an interview with Corriere della Sera confirms that as of January 7, the area system will be in effect again: “After the Befana we will have to restore the risk band model and confirm the basic measurements of the yellow areas.” Therefore, it means, for example, that the curfew will be maintained and that the lockout of swimming pools, gyms, cinemas, theaters and stadiums will be maintained. Statements that partially deny what was announced by their own colleagues about the possibility of reopening (safely) some activities from the 15th.
Even more clearly Walter Ricciardi, consultant to the Minister of Health for the Coronavirus emergency and professor of Hygiene at the Catholic University, who in an interview with The impression stops all enthusiasm: “In order to really lower the contagion curve, we have seen it, the only way is that of long and national running of the bulls. The red zone now in force should also be extended, at least until mid-January, if we want to see positive effects If we suddenly restart all activities as of January 7, we will certainly see an increase in the epidemic curve. “
RT worries Sicily
To determine the color (and the prohibitions), the RT (the contagion rate) will again be decisive, in addition to the organization of the health service and the tracing of contacts. Being above or below the value of “one” can make a difference. Sicily with its 0.93% is classified as moderate risk and therefore is a “candidate” to be in the orange zone.
The bulletin released yesterday by the Ministry of Health put 1,084 new cases of the 8,497 swabs processed on the island on paper, with a positive rate that jumped to 12.7%.
Returning to the orange zone means that it will not be possible to enter or leave the Region, except for “proven needs”, therefore for work, health and emergency reasons. It will be forbidden to move from one municipality to another (even in this case, however, it is allowed to travel for “proven needs for work, study, health”). It will not be possible to sit in the bar or restaurant, but both at home and the purchase of take away food are possible until 10 pm “with prohibition of consumption in the place or in the vicinity”. The gyms and swimming pools are closed, but it is still possible. Do individual activities outdoors while respecting the distance. There is also a curfew at 10 pm Buses and means of transport must be 50% occupied.
To risk the red zone are, from the draft of the control room of the ministry and the ISS, Veneto, Liguria and Calabria.
