The definitive Dpcm which contains new restrictive measures to stem the coronavirus arrived late at night. No more red areas but 2 areas. “One concerns the Lombardy region and some provinces: Modena, Parma, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia, Rimini, Pesaro and Urbino, Alessandria, Asti, Novara, Verbano Cusio Ossola, Vercelli, Padua, Treviso and Venice”, explains Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte underlining : “We apply a more rigorous regime and restrictive measures to this territory: a constraint to avoid any movement into and out of the territory. We will only move for proven work needs, situations of necessity, movements for health reasons. Return to your home is allowed out of necessity “.
“It is unacceptable.” Giuseppe Conte repeats it several times, in a press room of Palazzo Chigi open in the middle of the night. The Prime Minister speaks of the drafts, “I had not yet signed it”, of the Dpcm on the management of the Coronavirus emergency. That text “in a few hours will be in the Official Gazette” and will arrive with some changes.
For example, as for those mentioned by the same, Conte, in relation to the number of provinces subject to more stringent measures to restrict mobility, which are 14 instead of 11, as shown by the evening’s previews. In fact, sayred areasthe Prime Minister does not want to hear about it because on the one hand the extension of the more controlled areas expands – just think of the whole of Lombardy – and because the restrictions limit, in fact, but do not exclude entrances and exits tout court . Albeit for “proven reasons”, with the law enforcement officers asked to verify them.
Conte summarizes the general structure of the measures and imposes their political responsibility on the government. So, for example, availability in comparison with the oppositions, between tomorrow and Tuesday, hints, but “we manage” the situation. “It does not stop everything but we have to go into the perspective that there are rules to be respected. We will all have to be more responsible, I tell everyone. Even to our children who, for example, are not going to school these days”, notes Conte. It is, perhaps, the heart of the reasoning, in convulsive hours that tell at the same time of ‘migrations’ away from the North now seen as a source of anxieties and fears and escapes, more or less dramatic, of those who, already sick, he should, indeed must, stay at home.
“They must understand that this is not an opportunity to get together to have parties and therefore to create contact opportunities. They must take advantage of it to return to good readings, for example, or to follow activities remotely”, says Count of the boys. To all, remember that “we realize that all these measures will create discomfort, impose sacrifices, sometimes small, sometimes very large. But this is the moment of self-responsibility. We must understand that we all must adhere and we must not to counter these measures. We must not think we are smart. We must protect our health and that of our loved ones, of our parents, but above all the health of our grandparents. Because we have discovered that it is above all they, the older people, who they are exposed to the dangers of this virus. ”
Reduced mobility

It will be possible to enter and exit, said the Prime Minister, only “for proven work needs, situations of necessity and emergency”. However, Conte specifies, it will be allowed to return to one’s residence or domicile for those who need it. Responding to the reporters’ questions at the press conference, the premier specified: “There is no absolute ban (of movement, ed) but the need to motivate it, therefore reduced mobility. It does not stop everything, but enter into the logic that there are of the rules to follow. ” As for how the measure will be implemented, always responding to questions Conte explained that “the police will be entitled to ask for an account” to the citizens of their movements.
