ROME. CConcern in the government is increasing, fueled by the contagion data day by day. Yesterday 2,578 were registered, with 18 victims (including the Bishop of Caserta Giovanni D’Alise), and the number of patients currently hospitalized in intensive care amounted to 303. Data that seems to be down compared to the previous day, when there were 2,844 infections and 27 deaths, but “it is not like that,” stressed the Ministry of Health, because between Saturday and Sunday the number of tampons also dropped from 119,000 to 93,000 and the trend continues to grow. Concept reaffirmed also during the evening summit at Palazzo Chigi among the heads of delegation, summoned by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to discuss the anti-Covid regulations that will be adopted in the new Dpcm on Wednesday, thereby extending the state of emergency until January 31, 2021.
There is agreement, within the Executive, on the need to strengthen ties to sensitize citizens and “avoid a new blockade that we cannot afford,” says the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, guest of “Mezz’ora más.” The obligation to wear a mask even outdoors across the country, starting Thursday, is now a certainty, but it will have to be approved tomorrow for a vote in Parliament. And fines of 400 to 3,000 euros for those who do not carry it. Many regions have already moved on their own, others are waiting for the rule to be included in the Dpcm, otherwise they will do it alone, as announced by the Tuscan governor Eugenio Giani and Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga. The pushes of the regional presidents, if they go towards a reasonable tightening of the measures already in force, will not be hindered by the Executive. In fact, they will be welcome.
It is then discussed whether to include a limit to the participants of private events in the draft Dpcm. Currently the number is set at 200 indoors and 1000 outdoors, but the guidance that has emerged foresees not touching the number. And the security measures for transport will be confirmed, from 80% capacity in public transport to the regulations for airplanes, trains and ships. There is also little confidence in the early closures of bars and restaurants at 10pm. At the summit, the possibility of extending the curfew until 11:00 p.m. would have arisen, but it is a decision that meets resistance, due to the economic impact that the measure would have on one of the affected sectors. hardest of the health emergency, and tomorrow the CTS will be called to give an evaluation. A ban will probably be imposed on taking alcohol outside after 10pm.
The CTS, for now, recommends strict controls by the police in nightlife areas, insists on monitoring and summons the Emergency Commissioner Domenico Arcuri, asking him to start stocking up on protective devices, including masks and disinfectant gels not to find us unprepared for the arrival of the second wave, especially in hospitals.
The strongest fears, expressed during the meeting at Palazzo Chigi, are due to the climate that reigns in the country, of a growing underestimation of the danger. From here also comes the appeal that Conte makes from Assisi: “The enemy has not yet been defeated – he says -, we are aware that we cannot disperse the sacrifices made.” That is why the position adopted by the soccer league to play a potentially risky match like Napoli-Juventus in any case reflects strong intolerance in the government. In the Dpcm the number of spectators in the stadiums will not increase, Speranza reiterates, and most are beginning to consider the possibility of making strong decisions, if the Serie A League continues to put sports needs before those of public health.to.
