Covid, hypothesis Italy red zone on holidays and pre-holidays: today the government-Cts summit for tighter measures. Conte: “Stay vigilant”

The meeting between the government and the heads of delegation lasted well into the night to study the anti-Covid measures in view of the holiday season. At the center of the discussion among the majority forces the images circulated throughout the day on Sunday, with four Italian regions back in yellow zone e crowds of people that have crowded the streets, clubs and shops of the main cities. Situations that, have repeatedly repeated by the government, must be avoided in order to avoid the hypothesis of one third wave in January, in full vaccination campaign. Thus, the idea born from the executive, and which will also be discussed during the meeting scheduled at 10 with the Scientific technical committee, is to make all of Italy red zone (resulting in the new closure of bars, restaurants, shops and all activities deemed unnecessary and the limits to travel from home) or orange on holidays and days before holidays, to try to limit travel, with a derogation for i Municipalities under 5 thousand inhabitants from which, according to the first proposal, it will be possible to move towards areas within a radius of 30 kilometers.

“For months now we have all been engaged, with great and small sacrifices, in the battle against Covid-19 – said the Prime Minister on Facebook, Giuseppe Conte, at the end of the summit – Our national community, despite a thousand difficulties, has managed to show a strong spirit of cohesion and a great sense of responsibility. I am convinced that we will continue to show this solidity also in the coming weeks, on the occasion of the Christmas holidays. We must continue to commit ourselves and remain vigilant to fight the contagion “.

In the group of penalty takers who continue to ask for the firmness line, as has been done in recent days, there is also the Minister for Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, which in an interview with Corriere della Sera he says that “the photos of the gatherings show unjustifiable scenes, irrational, irresponsible. Conte has always been rigorous, but he listens to everyone’s proposals. It is one thing to move between tiny municipalities and neighboring villages. But expanding the municipal boundaries to the whole province, as the right asks, would be a mistake. Citizens would take it as a free all“.

According to the representative of the Democratic Party, the road to follow is the one taken by Angela Merkel that in Germany imposed the lockdown duro until January 10: “It is a choice that I personally share. We have to tell ourselves fully whether the Christmas break should serve us to secure the country or if it should be guided only by the will to promote business. At this moment, business and health cannot be reconciled. And I have the utmost respect for those who have the weight of economic activities on their shoulders ”. The president of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, is among those who argue that the economy cannot be penalized at Christmas, but Boccia defines this representation of reality as “simplistic, this division between aperturists and penalty takers. We must understand that when there is an epidemic and there is no drug, travel must be avoided. Not me, but science. We of the Pd, as he reiterated Gypsies, we want more restrictive measures, more than openness. As for the economy, the government has allocated the largest plan since the war in billions ”.

The first to take sides against the opening to travel between small municipalities, however, is the governor of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca: “If we open mobility in the small municipalities, which have 10 million inhabitants, there will be nothing more to do because we will have a dramatic resumption of the infection in January”, he said speaking to What’s the weather like. De Luca also rejected the government’s choices “which were patchy”, which partially curbed the contagion but the result was the extension to all of Italy.
