State of emergency, here is the extension: Government hard line

Even if they remain under control, infections increase and because Giuseppe Conte He also promised yesterday that there will no longer be a general closure of the country, for the government the extension of the state of emergency is the only way to “handle” the pandemic. Next week at Palazzo Chigi they will talk about the progress of infections after the reopening of schools and will also discuss the issue of stadiums, but now an extension is taken for granted.

Even before the expiration of the state of emergency Set for October 15, 7, the Prime Minister’s Decree that established the measures to contain the infection and that also prohibits the presence of the public in stadiums or discos ceases. the governmentTherefore, having listened to the Technical-Scientific Committee, you will have to put your hand on a new package of measures that may not be the same one due. It is obvious to think that the obligation of masks, the spacing, the use of protective devices, the capacity in public transport will not change.

Complementary evaluations will be carried out on stadiums and participation in sporting events, as well as on rail transport that could increase the number of travelers. While in stadiums there may be an increase in public, but without immediately passing 25% of the capacity, in discos there seems to be no news. The last extension was two and a half months. The next one could be longer and perhaps linked to the number of infections that in July, the month of the previous extension, were below 400 and that on these days are around two thousand. To press for an extension is the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, who, urged by the CTS, has already requested a rapid evaluation by the government in a Council of Ministers that could be held next week. Although Italy has clearly lower numbers than other European countries, the contagion curve is increasing, since July positive people have tripled and in many regions masks are mandatory even outdoors.

On the other hand, with the end of the state of emergency, smart work would also cease, which has a simplified procedure compared to ordinary legislation that provides for individual agreements between employer and employee for the private sector. Even if Labor Minister Nunzia Catalfo has promised that smart work will be included in collective bargaining, the amendment of the law on agile work is difficult to arrive in time. Closely linked to the state of emergency are also the powers conferred on Domenico Arcuri, which would expire together with those of the regional presidents and mayors as subjects of execution of the measures arranged to contain the pandemic. Although Italy is the only European country in a state of emergency, the exceptional measures that derive from it also allow accelerated purchases of everything necessary to face the COVID-19. The massive purchases of masks, gowns and protection devices, school desks and even doses of the flu vaccine are acquired by Commissioner Arcuri in direct negotiation precisely because of the special powers that have been conferred on him by the Decree of the Prime Minister.

It will also remain in the power of the government to impose additional health checks for those arriving from countries considered at risk. Speaking yesterday at the Trento Economy Festival, Giuseppe Conte “He publicly excluded a new national blockade” “because we are in a different situation from the beginning of the year.” As already pointed out by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, also confirmed that there could be limited closures “if clusters are developed” “because we have a very sophisticated system of data crossing.” Eventuality also underlined by the secretary of the Democratic Party and governor of Lazio Nicola Zingaretti who does not rule out closings: “If we do not respect the rules we will end there.”
