"These are busy hours: we were in consultation with our experts to evaluate the epidemiological curve to evaluate the next future scenarios. Today is Friday and as you know there is weekly monitoring.
In the afternoon we will have some news
".
Prime Minister
Giuseppe Conte said this at the "Energy Generation" event,
connecting after the meeting with the majority heads of delegation, in the presence of Franco Locatelli and Silvio Brusaferro.
The new Dpcm in view of the Christmas holidays therefore begins to take shape
also in relation to the different epidemiological scenarios.
Although the undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Sandra Zampa, however, announces that the curfew at Christmas will remain at 22. In the afternoon, the weekly monitoring by Iss-Ministry of Health should certify a descent of the curve and a lowering of the RT.
ISS-MINISTRY OF HEALTH MONITORING - In the period 4-17 November 2020, the transmissibility index Rt calculated on symptomatic cases is equal to 1.08
.
Average Rt values between 1 and 1.25 are found in most of the Italian Regions / PA.
In 4 Regions / PA the punctual RT is less than 1
, indicating a significant decrease in transmissibility: this is revealed by the
draft of the weekly monitoring by Iss-Ministry of Health
.
This week, for the first time in several weeks,
a decrease in the incidence of Covid cases nationwide in the last 14 days is
observed: 706.27 per 100,000 inhabitants in the period 9/11 / 2020-22 / 11/2020 against 732.6 per 100,000 inhabitants in the period 2/11 / 2020-15 / 11/2020), although this remains "at very high levels".
The draft underlines that "
in various Regions, however, an increasing incidence continues to be reported
".
Almost all Regions / PAs are still classified at high risk of an uncontrolled and unmanageable epidemic or at moderate risk with a high probability of progressing to high risk in the coming weeks
.
Ten Regions / PAs are classified as high risk
.
The remaining are at moderate risk, of which 7 with a high probability of progressing to high risk in the next month, still notes the monitoring draft in which the authorities of
these 7 regions
are recommended to
evaluate the opportunity to adopt further mitigation measures
.
The transmission speed of the epidemic in Italy is slowing down and has reached Rt levels close to 1 in many Regions / PA - reads the draft monitoring of the ISS -
.
Furthermore, for the first time in several weeks, the incidence calculated over the past 14 days has decreased nationwide.
These data are encouraging and signal the impact of the mitigation measures implemented in recent weeks.
However, the incidence still remains too high to allow sustainable management, therefore it will be necessary to reach transmissibility levels significantly lower than 1, allowing a rapid decrease in the number of new cases of infection and, consequently, a reduction in pressure on local and hospital health services. .
The number of Regions / PAs that have been classified as high risk and / or equated to high risk also remains high.
The need to maintain the drastic reduction of physical interactions between people is confirmed
.
It is essential that the population avoids all occasions of contact with people outside their home that are not strictly necessary and to stay at home as much as possible, the draft reads.
As of November 24, 17 regions had exceeded at least a critical threshold in the medical or intensive care area, notes the draft monitoring Iss-Ministry of Health.
If the current RT is maintained, almost all Regions / PAs have a 50% greater chance of exceeding at least one of these thresholds within the next month.
The number of people admitted to intensive care increased from 3,612 (17/11) to 3,816 (24/11/2020), while those admitted to medical areas went from 33,074 (17/11) to 34,577 (24/11/2020).
In the
meantime, the doctors are making
a heartfelt appeal
not to slow down the restrictions.
The data "show signs of a slowdown in the growth of the SarsCov2 epidemic, however the conditions of overload of the hospital system, with particularly high ICU occupancy and COVID areas, require not to relax the restrictive measures. We remind you that in the last week we over 200 thousand new cases and 4,980 deaths are counted while hospitalizations with symptoms are currently more than 34 thousand ".
This is the appeal of the Intersindacale of the Medical, Health and Veterinary Management on reopening close to the Christmas holidays.
Some regions, however, pawing,
Tuscany and Lombardy in the lead.
"Thanks to the sacrifices of the Lombards, the epidemiological data appreciated, we are now in the orange zone and
we will be able to reopen the shops. The Government's decision will soon be".
The president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, writes on Twitter.
The same goes for Piedmont.
The Rt of Piedmont "today is 0.84 the punctual
, 0.9 the average, so both are below 1. When Piedmont was red we were at a Rt of 2.16, this means that the Piedmontese sacrifices are served".
To say this, to the microphones of Sky, the president of the Region Alberto Cirio "I expect it to be implemented - he adds - what is foreseen by the Prime Minister's decree", ie the exit from the red zone.
"We see the orange zone as a step that repays the efforts made, but precisely so that they are not thwarted we have foreseen regional measures, which I will adopt with an ordinance, for example on shopping centers, where we provide very strict measures to avoid gatherings, as well as for the other activities that it is right that they reopen but always under security ".
Thus the president of the Piedmont Region, Alberto Cirio, who remembers to Sky Tg24 microphones how the measures must be implemented "with great care".
Even Tuscany
"From Friday 4 December it will be able to return to an area that allows you to loosen the grip of the closure of the movements", with a measure "that brings Tuscany back to the orange zone", "this morning I talked about it with Minister Speranza".
This was stated by
Eugenio Giani, president of the Tuscany Region.
Other regions, on the other hand, are holding back for fear of a new surge.
"We can think of some easing of the restrictive measures but a reopening seems premature": this is how he commented on the hypothesis of a return of
Umbria to the "yellow zone", given
the infectiousness index Rt below 1 and the parameters in now constant albeit slight improvement, the regional director of Health Claudio Dario.
Meanwhile, the governor of Campania De Luca announces: "We are thinking about the areas, against areas, sub areas.
My opinion is that these areas are a great fool
".
Fb reiterates this live.
For De Luca, there are "objective reasons" that make you decide for the color of the areas but there are also "other reasons that refer to political reasons where health has nothing to do with it".
"We have repeatedly asked the Ministry of Health to know the number of tampons.
The Campania Region communicates the true number of tampons we are under 25 thousand per day, this increases the number of positives. There are regions that communicate a very high number of tampons that are not molecular to lower the number of positives ".
Thus the governor of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, live Fb.
"We have not received any definite answer from the ministry, it seems scandalous to me, everything is brought to light", he added.
The
European Union also makes it known that next week there will be a common orientation on the Holidays.
And here the important game of skiing is also played.
"The leaders talked about the holiday season in the last video call and will discuss it again. Next week the EU Commission, following the leaders' meeting, will present an orientation for the weeks to come, to allow leaders a common understanding and a coordinated solution as possible ".
The vice-president of the EU Commission, Margheritis Schinas, said this when asked.
"In the weeks to come we must not damage the important results achieved. The issue is in the hands of our Member States, but there is a European dimension: a sense of collective duty not to make the mistake" to disperse the progress achieved.
