The extension of the state of emergency that expires on October 15 continues to occupy the place. The official status is not there yet. But during the meeting between Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the heads of delegation immediately after the CDM late yesterday night, there was talk, among other things, of the extension of the state of emergency. And if up to now there had been talk of a possible extension until December 31, during the meeting there was a debate on the advisability of going beyond the end of the year, given that the phase of coexistence with the virus is destined to last a long time : until January 31, 2021. A sensitivity, according to the same sources, shared by the majority forces.
Hypothesis of the state of emergency until January 31
Meanwhile, behind the majority, there is always the Technical-Scientific Committee that considers it “indispensable”.
Aware that without an extension of the state of emergency their role would also expire, the technicians have been repeating for days that “it would be crazy not to extend at least until December 31”. But they are calm, the government’s signals last night are unequivocal: “We must wait and evaluate, but it will come.” In addition, as the head of the CTS Agostino Miozzo warns: “The decision will be made based on the data but above all we will have to wait for the effect of the reopening of the schools.”
Although the outbreaks are under control, as are the numbers, the increasing trend in infections would seem to give the Committee reason. «You see – confides one of the members of the CTS – the last extension was at the end of July when the contagion curve was better than now. We have always preached prudence and strict measures. Why should we think differently now?
One line, this one from the comparison between the current situation and that of the summer, which also married Minister Roberto Speranza. “We will make an assessment – he declared – and as always we will confront Parliament because this must happen in a parliamentary democracy like ours. But I still have to keep the line of maximum caution.
THE POSITIONS
On the other hand, it has never been doubted that the government line was the one that led to a tout court extension of status. At the limit, formulas are being studied to soften the opposition that, even before the extension of July 29, had entrenched it by speaking of a Parliament deprived of its functions. So the hypothesis of the expansion of the pot ended on the table, which aims to unpack individual ordinances and measures to limit the controversy. In any case, it is planned to go beyond the beginning of 2021. In the meantime, however, the Special Commissioner for the emergency Domenico Arcuri needs time to make enough purchases of diagnostic kits (even the quick ones, just cleared customs). by the Cts) or to complete the game related to the discussed single-seater school desks.
THE HYPOTHESIS
The Ministry of Health speaks of two quite divided souls before last night. Speranza’s caution echoes the positions of those above who maintain that “the Regions are already tightening the measures” (alluding to the strict entry into force yesterday in Campania and Sicily).
Vice Minister Pierpaolo Sileri stayed to stop. “It is clear that we will also assess the trend in the next days of the epidemic – he emphasized – as well as that if we had 4 times today’s figures, things could change. But it is not like that, nor do I think we will have this increase in a few days. But obviously everyone hopes he’s right this time. Also during the meeting at the Palazzo Chigi last night, dem Dario Franceschini would have emphasized the need to boost Immuni, the application to manage contact tracing in the Covid emergency. And so the Guardian Alfonso Bonafede would have launched an idea: a television marathon that invites Italians to download the application, pressing the accelerator on downloads. A kind of “Telethon” dedicated to Immuni, complete with an on-screen counter to see the number of Italians who join the initiative.
