Permanent summit between government, regions and municipalities. Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria ask to limit travel for people over 70

The new is on summit among the representatives of Regions, from Common and of Province, in the presence of the Ministers of Health, Roberto Speranzaand Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, to discuss the New measures that the government will have to adopt to try to curb the increase in infections by coronavirus in Italy, which in a few weeks registered a worrying rebound. The latest rumors show that among the measures under study there is also one for limiting the movement of people over 70: it is one of the hypotheses proposed by some regions, in particular, according to what has been learned, Lombardy, Piedmont me Liguria.

On the table of the participants in the meeting, the epidemiological and health situation of the country that Minister Speranza, in an interview with the Messenger Service, did not hesitate to define “frightening”: “The epidemiological curve is still very high. What worries me is the absolute figure, which shows a terrifying curve. Either we bend it or we get in trouble. We have 48 hours to try and give it a new squeeze“Said the leader of Leu.

What worries the government official is that it is still there “Too many people around” e “the hospitals are overcrowded. The situation in Italy is still very difficult ”. More cautious, for the moment, in assessing the situation in intensive therapy that “are not the fundamental problem these days. For a few weeks they will still be quite manageable. “

But the rebound in the contagion curve is also putting at risk some activities considered fundamental and on which the government did not intend to impose other restrictions, such as the school: “The curve is rising so fast that you risk putting Face-to-face teaching is being discussed. – Speranza observes – The government’s idea is always not to touch the schools. We want to defend them as much as possible, but unfortunately we have to do so in the context of an epidemic. School is not intangible“The hypothesis is to leave the Regions the possibility of suspending face-to-face lessons even for primary and secondary schools as they have already done. Campania me Puglia: “It is no coincidence that we have not challenged the ordinances.”

But in such a situation, the owner of the Health Center cannot stop taking it “for granted” closing the borders between the Regions: “Unfortunately, strong interventions are also needed in Lombardy, one of the areas of the country that are in worst condition. Based on data from the Scientific Technical Committee, we sat down with President Attilio Fontana and the Mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala and we evaluate the decisions to be made ”. As for the problem of public transport, Speranza does not rule out that “in the most difficult areas it is decided to go down a little compared to 80% capacity”.

But on the government table there are also other focused interventions, at the provincial level, in the areas most affected by the second wave of coronavirus, especially in all those regions where the contagion index Rt has touched or passed the threshold of 1.5. In the new Dpcm, which could be signed as of Monday, in addition to the limitations on travel between Regions, a reduction of working hours with mandatory lock by 18, the closing of shopping centers on weekends, the distance learning extended to 100%, in some areas even in third year of high school. The regions under observation are certainly there Lombardy and the Piedmont, but probably also there Liguria, l ‘Umbria, the Apulia, the Calabria, the Sicily and the Campania.
