No early closing of restaurants and bars, no curfew. Someone of the experts of the technical-scientific committee that advises the government had proposed limiting the openings to 11 at night, considering it important, given the increase in infected, to update the restrictions on the premises. An option that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the ministers do not want to consider, due to the psychological and economic impact of the measure.
At the moment it is, later we will see. With the red light indicating an increased circulation of the virus, the government increases, but slightly, the pressure. Which will pass through the short streets of another Dpcm that the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, will illustrate this morning in Parliament before the Prime Minister adds his signature tomorrow, after the extension of the state of emergency until January 31, 2021. There are still records. ongoing, but in addition to the old obligations, such as distancing, to avoid meetings and lifting the mask indoors, the decree, for now, will only require that the nose and mouth be covered even outdoors throughout Italy.
On the table are many scenarios and different possible solutions. In these hours, the option of local confinement has not been completely ruled out, to isolate the most affected areas. Much attention is paid, for example, to Campania, for the rising numbers and for the strong mobility that exists between Naples and Rome. We also reflect for a long time on public events indoors, in buildings, theaters and cinemas where the ceiling is for 200 people. The idea of lowering the number to one hundred has been heeded, but the government is also keen on the warning from terrified entertainment exhibitors to see empty halls again.
For participation in parties and ceremonies, the ban on gathering remains, but for now no limit is introduced on the number of participants, even if CTS experts are pushing for a maximum to be set here as well. A thousand people remain for the other outdoor events, including soccer games. The spectacle of overcrowded discotheques and sports halls did not convince the government to heed the suggestions of some CTS members, who would have gladly reinstated the clause introduced at the time of the national shutdown and later canceled, allowing the Regions to deliberate just more restrictive and more restrictive. no more permissive as it has been in recent months. A maneuver that would have ended up creating an irremediable break with the governors, including those related to the majority. Not to mention the center-right presidents, who, led by the Ligurian Giovanni Toti at night, shook their heads in front of the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, and Speranza, who explained the reasons for the obligation to wear a mask to the fresh air. «Those of us who know the area decide. With us in Liguria it makes sense in the alleys of Genoa but it is not logical in the countries of the Riviera without more tourists “, Toti exemplified.
Confirmed the high fines for those who do not respectthe obligation to wear a mask outdoors. Although in extremis they could be less than the between 400 and three thousand euros introduced in March and still in force. The reasoning of the supporters of the discount is more or less this: better a sanction a little less salty but applied to those who do something wrong than a super fine that only a few will apply later. To justify the new squeeze, this weekend’s numbers are only seemingly downhill. Because if from Saturday to yesterday we went from 2,844 to 2,257 daily infections, it is because tampons have been reduced by half. While the percentage that indicates how much the virus actually circulates, that of positives in relation to the number of people who were tested for the first diagnosis, almost doubled over the weekend, from 3.8 to 6.2% . At the end of July it was 0.8%. On the other hand, the numbers of the school illustrated yesterday by the Minister of Education Lucía Azzolina in the CTS are considered good: in the first two weeks of classes the positive students were only 1492, 0.021% of the eight million and approved students . There are 349 teachers and 116 cases of positivity among the remaining staff. Given these numbers, a circular from the Ministry of Health should soon begin to remind local authorities to respect the security protocols that provide for the closure of the entire school only in the presence of numerous infections and not isolated cases.
