the new decree today on movements between regions and the first Dpcm of the Draghi government

The second council of ministers of the Draghi government convened for this morning on Monday 22 February at 9.30 will dismiss the first decree law on the epidemic with the extension of 30 days until 27 March of the ban on travel between regions which expires on 25 February; this will be followed by a decree of the Prime Minister (Dpcm), which will follow the one expiring on 5 March. The idea is to extend everything until the end of March or the beginning of April.

The new decree today on movements between regions and the first Dpcm of the Draghi government

Draghi’s new decree will preserve the possibility of visiting friends and relatives, i.e. the rule, currently valid until March 5, which allows a maximum of two people to move to another private home, plus children under 14 years of age. . All in an Italy that today has seen the orange zone come into force in Campania, Emilia Romagna and Molise, with a desire to get out of the citizens who seem almost unstoppable in good weather. And yet the contagion curve shows no signs of deflecting: the bulletin of the Civil Protection reports well over 13 thousand positive tests per day, with increasing patients in intensive care and in ordinary wards and deaths still definitely over 200.

The decree could also find space for greater restrictions for local red zones in the outbreak municipalities and neighboring areas. There is also the hypothesis that the weekly monitoring, announced on Friday for a year, is moved to the beginning of the week, to avoid complicated overlaps with weekends. For the rest, we change: the new strategy of the Draghi government provides that every new decree and new Dpcm is approved at least one week before the entry into force, to allow citizens and economic activities to organize themselves, and health measures refreshments for the penalized businesses will be placed side by side Meanwhile, the Regions yesterday rejected the hypothesis of triggering a single national orange zone (the so-called dark orange area of the president of Emilia-Romagna Stefano Bonaccini) and ask to simplify and correct the model of the division of Italy into three colors, reviewing the criteria and 21 classification parameters, even if according to experts of the caliber of Andrea Crisanti needs a total lockdown to stop the advance of the coronavirus variants: “We must not wait to reach 50 thousand cases a day to understand that we have a problem and we need to intervene”.

After the conference call of the premier with the ministers, the governors are informed and consulted, on the eve of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi, in the videoconference with Gelmini and with the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza. And they present their own platform of proposals that will be brought to the government tomorrow, assures the minister. Draghi is not taking part in the State-Regions Conference which should take place tomorrow after the Council of Ministers. The Corriere della Sera explains today that the document approved unanimously by the governors and sent to the government calls for “a review of the parameters and the system of the zones”, but also new protocols that can identify the sectors to be restarted and those that must instead follow “a regime more stringent for specific territorial contexts “. In this way, a classification is obtained that links the reopening of activities to the Covid circulation indexes. It means that where the lowest Rtè will be “We ask you to evaluate the restrictions that have proved to be more or less effective, to weigh which activities need to be closed or limited and which can be reopened, with updated protocols. This solution is essential and appropriate. as some activities have been completely closed for several months and the prolongation of this situation would be fatal “, say the governors.

Draghi’s Covid decree today: “Close today to open at the end of March”

The ban on travel between regions which expires on Thursday and which the Council of Ministers this morning should extend by thirty days according to the messenger in the wishes of the presidents of the regions it should serve “in order to reach reopening close to the Easter holidays that could represent a breath of fresh air for tour operators”.

An easing, proof of second thoughts, which however will take place in more than a month even if with the new government there is an attempt to change pace and the intention to avoid the dramatizations and alarmism of recent months.

“It was a preparatory meeting for what the new Dpcm must be, which must be done by March 5. Personally, I asked that there be clear lines, clear parameters, and above all that there be a single scientific reference at national level”, says Luca Zaia, president of Veneto, also letting it be known that he has explicitly asked the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza to let the Scientific Technical Committee speak “with one voice” and “preferably with the government”. The composition of the Technical-Scientific Committee will change and it is now assumed that the number of members will be reduced.

The Regions then ask for a decisive acceleration in the vaccination campaign, finding the necessary doses, and linking the problem to the criteria that have so far regulated the colors, primarily the inexorable Rt, the transmissibility index. “It is considered essential to proceed with a revision of the parameters and the contextual revision of the zone system – they say -, in the sense of simplification, that it also passes functionally from a revision of the protocols for regulating reopening, in an even more stringent sense where necessary” . “At this stage we need a change of pace that will allow us to combine health security measures with economic recovery and cultural and social activities”. “It is clear – is the conclusion – that if the vaccination campaign accelerates, RT gradually loses its relevance”.

The new Dpcm and the new Draghi decree: it does not cancel bonuses and refreshments

The refreshments will therefore not be canceled and will be given more promptly and in correspondence with the closures of the shops. For some time the rumor had circulated that Draghi wanted to cancel bonuses and refreshments, also because during the consultations in Parliament he himself had made it clear that he had this intention, arguing that healthy businesses should be helped and not those in crisis. But the lockdown and the circulation of variants are still the main concern: The print he writes that Speranza said he did not want to “alarmism” but then drew a very worried picture of the situation, explaining that until the vaccination campaign does not reach important numbers it will be necessary to deal with the new variants and this will make it necessary to continue with the restrictions.

Yesterday Today.it Andrea Crisanti, full professor of microbiology at the University of Padua, explained that there is no time to waste: “It is clear that the third wave of the coronavirus epidemic is about to arrive. The Regions do not want to understand this. Presidents are the biggest obstacle to the introduction of the measures. Bonaccini proposes the dark orange zone? He was against it ten days ago, ”he says. “How long have the technicians been saying that there is a third wave risk? We should have done the lockdown at Christmas, that’s the truth, ”he explains. And this is because “the signs of the third wave are all there, the English variant is already at 35%, in two weeks we risk 40 thousand cases”. However, the growth of infections has not yet begun. “There is always a latency period to consider. Certain curves are flat at first and then suddenly go upwards. We are moving towards the third wave. Maybe we can stop it for once before it explodes in our hands, however… ”. With the lockdown? “Sure. There is little difference between the red and orange areas, but a close must be done ”.

Instead the governors follow another line and ask for a double revision of the parameters used up to now to adopt the measures: those on RT, the contagion index, and those on the real risk of production activities. “A necessary solution – write the Regions – because some activities have been totally closed for several months and the prolongation of this situation would be fatal”. The current classification of the activities to be closed in the orange and red areas could be overcome with some distinctions that take into account the real risk in applying even more rigid protocols. As for the contagion index, the Regions believe that with the acceleration of the vaccination campaign it would lose relevance and should be replaced by the hospitalization index. The Regions are also asking to close schools of all types and levels where necessary for limited periods, as is happening in recent weeks in Puglia and to increase the forms of parental leave and provide for additional financial resources to support parents.
