After two weeks of restrictive measures for the red and orange regions, it could be possible, in the third week, to monitor and verify, “easing for some areas, but this has yet to be established.” A government source opens with extreme caution to the hope of the territories most penalized by the anti-Covid regulations, while the line of rigor remains prevailing and the controversy of some governors is not extinguished in view of the next ‘bulletins’ fight against the virus and especially Christmas.

The pressure on the executive has the decisive tone of Massimiliano Fedriga, president of Friuli Venezia Giulia (orange), who requested and obtained an extraordinary meeting of the Conference of Regions for today. “Finally, we will be able to discuss the criteria applied by the Technical-Scientific Committee regarding the data provided at the regional level,” says the representative of the Northern League. It is a necessary act of clarity towards the citizens and companies of my region ”.

Last Saturday Fedriga, after the government’s decision to apply the measures for the orange zone in Friuli, had withdrawn the recently issued ordinance that already provided for stricter rules.
Now the governor speaks of “discussing the options that determine the transition to one or the other band,” but the government does not seem concerned that they want to question the criteria established for the control room of the Ministry of Health, in which the Regions are located. they are also represented.

The first to be subjected to a new evaluation will be, from November 20, the first to be declared reds, specifically Lombardy, Piedmont, Calabria, Valle d’Aosta and Alto Adige (Autonomous Province). The pressure of the productive categories -especially restaurants and merchants- on the presidents of the Regions is increasingly strong so that measures are taken on the government so that they loosen the anti-Covid grip as soon as possible. We hope to obtain band changes from the Ministry of Health even before the new Dpcm that from December 3 will define the rules for the Christmas holidays (and for the consumption associated with them).
But the tricolor mechanism conceived by the executive with the last Dpcm foresees very specific times, which the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza seems willing to enforce without derogations. Undersecretary Sandra Zampa confirms that the government’s objective is to continue “with the model” of the three bands, red, orange and yellow, while once again a total blockade like the one launched in Austria is excluded.
Faced with a first and timid softening of the epidemic curve, it is not the time to let go, reason the executive and the Scientific Technical Committee, especially if you want to have some possibility of lightening the rigor at Christmas. Debate about holidays, dinner and the party that, in addition, at this moment Speranza defines “lunar”.

As confirmed by the government source heard by ANSA, “it is written. Whoever has a color stays there for at least two weeks.”
From the third, that of data verification, faced with encouraging figures we can begin to speak of “slack”, if the experts allow it. But it will not be easy for the Regions to get them.
So much so that Tuscan President Eugenio Giani, critical but collaborator with the government after entering the region in the red zone, says that the objective is to bring it back to the yellow zone by Christmas, but, he admits, “climbing is hard “.
