Pressing the government for another national lockdown.

We remain vigilant and ready to intervene where necessary, 'says Conte.

'We are one step away from tragedy.

We close everything for 30-40 days, then we'll see ', says the governor De Luca who will sign the ordinance with which he will close Campania over the weekend.

Lombard President Fontana unmasks: 'Do everything to prevent a new national lockdown.

Italy cannot stop '. 

The new provisions for the containment of Covid-19 will cause a further reduction of approximately 5.8 billion euros in household consumption and could cause the closure of another 20 thousand businesses, bringing the company terminations expected this year from 90 to 110 thousand.

The alarm is renewed by Confesercenti according to which in the hypothesis that the closures are also imposed for the first week of November, the overall reduction in household spending for 2020 could reach 95.8 billion euros even with the return to normality during the holiday season

The president of the Campania Region

Vincenzo De Luca asks the government for a national lockdown and specifies that in any case "Campania will move in this direction very soon".

"The current data on the contagion - he says - make any type of partial measure ineffective. It is necessary to close everything, except for the categories that produce and move essential goods (industry, agriculture, construction, agro-food, transport). It is essential to block mobility between regions and between municipalities. It is frankly not clear what effectiveness limited measures can have in this context. In any case Campania will move in this direction very shortly ". 

According to the governor of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, the bed situation in Campania is "heavy".

"The programming still allows us to hold up - he says on Facebook - but with these numbers there is no hospital system in the world capable of withstanding the shock wave"

.

"Today we hold up thanks to the sacrifice of thousands of doctors and health personnel, but within a few days we risk having the intensive care units clogged", he added.

"

It is stupid, irresponsible to say that schools should be closed last."

So the governor of Campania.

"In the face of an increase in infections such as the one we have recorded among teachers and students, the only answer that reason can give is to prevent the contagion from spreading.

The priority is not ideologisms but blocking contagions. The decisions they are not taken in the abstract but on the basis of numbers ", he added

Heavy situation also in

Lombardy

.

"Unfortunately the contagion line is growing"

said the president of Lombardy Attilio Fontana.

"The virus has resumed violent circulation," he added

.

 "Some mayors have said that they do not accept the ordinance limited to distance learning.

I have taken note of it and I personally take responsibility for the decision

": this is how the president of Lombardy Attilio Fontana explained after the video conference meeting with Anci and mayors on the part of the anticovid provision which provides for remote lessons for high schools in the region. 

 Alarm also in Veneto, 1550 new cases
