AGI – Closing of shopping centers during the weekend, tightening of the circulation between regions, ad hoc measures for people over 70 and traffic blockade at 6:00 p.m.: these are some of the proposals that emerged this morning during the meeting between government, regions and local authorities in which, together with governors and mayors, the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, and the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza also attended.
The main issue was whether continue to manage the crisis “differentiated” for each region or give a national imprint to the measures to be adopted.
Possible postponement to Tuesday of the signing of the dpcm
The government is tightening the screws and working at a rapid pace to launch the new dpcm as early as tomorrow night, but, as we know, It is not excluded that the launch of the provision may be postponed until Tuesday. The initial hypothesis was to close the package as early as tomorrow night, but the complexity of the decision and the many requests that must be taken into account by the different local institutions could take a few more hours.
Franceschini: differentiated and more restrictive measures where the Rt index exceeds 1.5
“Stronger measures in the Regions that have an Rt index greater than 1.5. We are thinking about this differentiated mechanism ”. This was stated by the Minister of Heritage and Cultural Activities and head of the Pd delegation in the government Dario Franceschini, who announces the upcoming closure of the museums.
National line or autonomy of the Regions?
The majority of the governors were in favor of this second hypothesis, although all, except the president of the Campania Region, stressed the need to avoid a second emergency shutdown widespread.
The starting point, as Boccia recalled, is “the document of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and the monitoring system“that the government and the regions have shared with the technical-scientific committee and that contemplates a” series of hypotheses that should be triggered automatically. “If the transmission rate exceeds a certain level – today there are 11 Regions out of 1,5 and 2 regions over 2 – then some measures already foreseen in the plan that we share and update together should be activated automatically. ”
Therefore, the minister highlighted “you don’t have to make a single decision about schoolBut it must depend on the transmission speed in each individual region. “
The school knot
The governors, with the president of the Conference of the Regions, explained that “the more national measures there are, the more one can give a sense of uniformity“to action against the pandemic.
In addition, he added BonacciniThe national measures “would be easier to explain to the country, also because the situation is widespread throughout the territory. Better today, more restrictive measures, so as not to intervene every week,” he later stressed.
A position that, although with different declines, all governors agree. In fact, the Regions emphasize that, unlike in March, when the pandemic hit harder in the North than in the rest of Italy, today the contagion curve is almost homogeneous throughout the country. Hence the request for national interventions. The government received proposals for interventions such as, for example, the closure of shopping centers and the blocking of traffic at 6 in the afternoon. In some cases, the possibility of ad hoc interventions on some social groups was also discussed, such as people over 70 years of age who could be “recommended” not to leave the house.

Pressure on GPs
By some governors of the League like Fedriga and Fontana, the urgent request has also arrived to “force general practitioners to take swabs and treat patients at home”, a request also relaunched today by the secretary of the Northern League, Matteo Salvini.
“The national government stands by your side for any other shared restriction from regional mobility and we can decide to take more measures, but each regional president can intervene as necessary and critical issues of their own territory, “says Minister Boccia, confirming that” the regions that individually close some activities or reduce the hours depending on the implementation of the shared plan on the epidemiological trend “, will have” all kinds of support “from the government.
Tomorrow morning we go back to the table
Proposals that will return to the government table tomorrow, when the ministers and governors meet, at 9, to take stock. In fact, Minister Speranza stressed that “in these 48 hours we are building together the Dpcm on two horizons: national measures; territorial measures. The last point is valid on the first point Dpcm, we can also raise the national bar in some shared points and in some territories we raise the levels of intervention ”.
Rumors about possible new restrictive measures, which circulated after the meetings at Palazzo Chigi, have led the governors to clarify and, in some way, to deny. “Large passages of the dialogue of the Presidents of the Regions have been decontextualized, extrapolated, in some cases even distorted, and published by some press agencies, creating the conditions for a disorientation of public opinion and certainly not of information attached to the facts “, reads a note from the Conference of the Regions
“Today a videoconference meeting was held, called by the Government, between Minister Boccia, Minister Speranza, the representatives of the associations of local authorities and the presidents of the Regions,” the note recalls. “The meeting, of a confidential nature, had the objective of sharing data and pursuing common reasoning among the different institutional levels of the Republic with a view to new measures to confront and counteract the spread of the pandemic.”
Pd curry governors, federalists when things get better
“They are federalists when things get better. Centralists when they get worse. Hopefully at least they won’t attack the measures adopted by the government at their request half an hour after their adoption, ”says Undersecretary Pd Andrea Orlando.
Iv says no to stores that close at 6 pm
“Closing the stores at 6 in the afternoon would only produce a greater traffic jam, and therefore greater risks for workers and customers, exactly what must be avoided,” Minister Teresa Bellanova, head of the Italian delegation would have observed, during the meeting at Palazzo Chigi.
