There are six regions in the balance between the red zone and territorial closures: in addition to the new restrictions coming to Emilia-Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, Puglia and Liguria are also at risk while the Campania case continues on trial between the First Minister Giuseppe Conte and Minister of Health Roberto Speranza.
The six regions in balance between confinement and territorial closure
Let’s go in order. Today the ordinances of the presidents of Emilia-Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto are foreseen, which are currently in the yellow zone but some parameters place them in scenario 4, the worst, which if more indicators worsened would automatically slide them to the red zone. The objective of the governors is, therefore, to anticipate the measures to try to end up only in the orange zone and reduce the impact on the economy of the territories even if governors like Fedriga say that the risk of ending up in the red zone is real. One of the measures could affect bars and restaurants: the hypothesis is to put the mandatory drink on the table and reduce the number of people who can sit in front of the 4 indicated in the Dpcm, said the president of Friuli Massimilano Fedriga. And there will also be interventions to limit movements and regulate the opening of stores, facing the weekend, so as not to repeat the scenes of last weekend. The ordinance is expected to go into effect at midnight.
But in addition to these three regions in the balance there are others. At the government summit attended yesterday by Silvio Brusaferro, Agostino Miozzo and Franco Locatelli, who certified the good news of the slowdown in the growth of the epidemic, there was talk of the possibility of reaching a peak in the coming weeks (the latest date popular is that of November 27) and therefore the fact that the October and November Dpcm are beginning to give the expected results. However, he explains today Republic, Prime Minister Conte has decided to continue in the line of regional closures and there are two other regions strongly suspicious: after the most recent figures of the territories have started to flow, today the elaboration will arrive with the decisions: they run the risk of enter the Puglia and Liguria zone, which are currently orange, while the three regions in yellow (Emilia-Romagna, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia) have an Rt contagion index higher than 1.5 and restrictive measures of Governors arriving today may not be enough and therefore the Ministry of Health would take the field with an ordinance.
Meanwhile, some cities are beginning to move. Rome announces the intensification of controls in parks and on the coast as well as in shopping streets where many gatherings have been amortized in recent days. In Florence, bars and restaurants close on weekends, while the ban on access to squares is being evaluated. In Palermo, a ban on parking in the center was decreed until December 3. In Bologna, events and demonstrations are always prohibited in the center. In Bari the gardens are closed, in Verona other blocks are studied in the center.
Because the coronavirus epidemic is slowing its growth
The case of Campania
Then there is the case of Campania: the decision on the change of area will be made on Friday, November 13, where the situation of the hospitals is disconcerting and yesterday the video of a patient who died in the waiting room of the Cardarelli hospital caused horror, Although the hospital responded: “A few minutes after his death – read a note from the hospital – a video showing the man’s body began to circulate on the network, filmed taking advantage of the withdrawal of rescuers who went to look for a stretcher in the one to lay down the body. “At the moment it is not possible to establish what was the cause of the disease that caused the death and the Department of Health has initiated the necessary investigations in this regard.” The condolences of the strategic direction and all the personnel that dedicates every day to curbing the violence of this pandemic goes to the man’s family ”, concludes the note.
However, the episode provoked a political controversy. Luigi Di Maio asked the executive to enter the region in the red zone but this is impossible without the controls of the inspectors sent to verify the numbers of the previous weeks or a significant worsening of the new data. As we have explained in recent days, the ministry does not intend to issue an order that is not supported by the figures because the risk of annulment before the regional administrative court would be very high, as happened with that of the Michele Emiliano schools in Puglia.
Repubblica, however, writes that the order will arrive tomorrow, formalizing the orange or red zone, but in the meantime Conte has asked Angelo Borrelli to evaluate with the joint general command the dispatch of Civil Protection and the army for the emergency in Campania. Among the objectives, establish field hospitals and recruit new Covid hotels. “We are the state – says the prime minister – and if there are widespread reports of critical problems in health facilities in the city of Naples, we have to give a signal.”
