The new Dpcm arrives, the regions at risk

The new Dpcm is almost ready. The indiscretions speak of stronger measures in those Regions, where the contagion rate is higher and exceeds the threshold of 1.5. “We are thinking about a differentiated mechanism, related to the risks of contagion and, above all, saturation of the health system,” confirmed the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Dario Franceschini, on live television on Sunday night.

In the ‘sight’, say majority parliamentary sources, there would be Lombardy, Piedmont and Calabria, considered by the latest weekly report of the ISS Regions as ‘high risk’ with, respectively, an Rt index of 2.01, 1.99 and 1.84, so much so that it falls within the so-called scenario 4. A scenario, which It would also include areas, albeit with moderate risk, of Molise (Rt 2.01), Bolzano (Rt 1.92), Emilia Romagna (Rt 1.6) and Trento (Rt 1.56).

Framed in scenario 3 with a defined high risk, they would be Puglia (Rt 1.47), Sicily (Rt 1.38) Tuscany (Rt 1.19). Friuli Venezia Giulia (Rt 1.47), Umbria (1.45) Lazio (1.43) Marche (1.35) and Campania (1.29) fall in the same scenario but with moderate risk. The government is working tirelessly on the final draft of the ‘package’, which is expected by Tuesday night and no longer tomorrow, as originally planned. For now, only rumors circulate, with a single fixed point: stopping the curve as much as possible through stronger interventions in the Regions with the most infections, anticipating softer restrictions in the rest of the country. A strategy that would avoid a total lockdown for now.
