ROMA A light at the end of the tunnel. For four days Lombardy and Piedmont have “technically” entered the orange zone.

The Minister of Health says this with relief mixed with concern, in front of the daily bulletin of the infected and the dead: «There is a deceleration and this week it will be important to see if it continues and what are the numbers of hospitalizations. But we are not yet facing a retreat of the virus. The situation remains very serious, no Italian region is in the green zone. We need the utmost caution ».

The date of Friday 27
The Lombardy has dropped to a lower level of risk last Friday, but according to the decree in force for the red or orange zones are necessary 14 days of “stay in the lower risk scenario” before the de-escalation. Therefore, the actual exit from the red zone cannot take place before Friday 27. Also in Piedmont there is a reversal of the trend and for this reason the pressure on the government to shorten the exit times has begun. In Lombardy, however, the epidemiological situation is very varied so it is possible that the areas where suffering is greatest may remain red. «The Dpcm allows it – confirms Speranza -. It is an evaluation that we will have to make ». The Conference of Regions is convened for today at the request of the president of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga, who attacks: “The meeting will finally serve to discuss the criteria applied by the Technical-Scientific Committee with respect to the data provided at the regional level”. We could also discuss extending the opening hours of shops in the evening before Christmas.

Puglia at risk
From tomorrow Abruzzo is in the red zone by decision of the president Marco Marsilio and in the risk range also Puglia has entered which will be decided on Friday. Concern is the speed with which the virus continues to spread despite the restrictive orders signed in recent days by governor Michele Emiliano. The president of the Bari Medical Association, Filippo Anelli, calls for a total lockdown and it is not excluded that the president of the Region decides to follow in the footsteps of Marsilio. The president of Abruzzo has chosen to “apply the discipline of the red areas”, leaving the schools open. A decision that Minister Roberto Speranza appreciated. In Calabria and Basilicata all lessons were instead suspended.

Lazio worries
The Lazio resist in yellow band, but the increase in positives compared to swabs and the number of hospitalized are worrying: 3,100 compared to 5,500 beds. The places are there and the situation is under control, yet the president Nicola Zingaretti he fears saturation and has moved in time with restrictive ordinances. They remain in yellow too Veneto, Sardinia, Molise and the province of Trento. “The infections continue to grow, but the speed has slowed down – explains the Minister of Health -. The RT is just above 1, we hope it will be the last climb towards the plateau ». On Friday, the government control room will examine all data arriving from the regions and the health minister could sign new restrictive ordinances. The first stage of the weekly monitoring is expected for today, when the Technical-Scientific Committee will begin update the data of the territories. Lombardy and Piedmont will conclude on Friday first two weeks in lockdown and the experts do not rule out that, under the Dpcm, they can return in orange band, where the restrictive measures are less severe. With the positive rate of tampons rising to 18% on a national scale, scientists warn against rapid loosening: a greater saturation of beds would require a change in hospital acceptance policies, “leading to privilege the most serious cases with consequent increased mortality of those who are unable to be treated in time ».
