Those who expected, and there were many, that Tuscany from tomorrow, December 13, could change color and become the yellow zone, with the consequent lightening of the measures, were disappointed, since our region will probably remain orange for another week . The president of the Provincial Council, Antonio Mazzeo, explains the reason for the decision of the Ministry of Health.
“The explanation is, unfortunately, very simple – says Mazzeo – the government demands that for 14 days It is necessary to stay within the same risk range, despite the fact that with the Decree of the Prime Minister of December 3, the Government may decide to repeal this rule (but for the moment it has not done so for any region). I respect the decision, the maximum prudence in the face of the pandemic is a must, but this extreme rigidity does not convince me. The numbers of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità tell us that the evolution of the virus in our region, thanks to the sacrifices of these weeks, has definitely slowed down: the RT of Tuscany is 0.76 (We started from 1.8 when we were in the red zone), while the national one is 0.82. There are no alerts regarding the resilience of local health services (in some yellow regions there are), we tracked 96.6% of cases and the general classification of risk according to the control room of the ISS itself is moderate “.
The news: Tuscany is still orange
“Anyway, we have all the indicators of the yellow zone, but the rigid bureaucratic interpretations will still force us to go to orange – continues the president of the Regional Council – I already said it when in a week we went from the yellow zone to the red zone: the greatest risk that the national government can run is that of not making its choices fully understandable. And in these hours I admit that I feel exactly the same feeling. All the more reason, however, we must make a compromise: once we get out of these restrictions we must make sure we never go back there.
