"A surge in" infections "is coming
after Great Britain, Ireland, Germany is also coming to us: it will not be easy, we still have to make some sacrifices".
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte says this to Tg3 talking about Covid.
In the meantime, the government has met the Regions in view of the new measures and confirms that it intends to introduce in the Dpcm the ban on bars selling takeaway food and drinks after 6pm. The choice would have been confirmed during the meeting with the regions in which the other measures were also illustrated: confirmation for all areas of the rule that allows a maximum of two people to visit relatives and friends at home, stop mobility between regions, even between the yellow ones, establishment of a white area, for " give a signal "of the work that is being done and which will allow us to enter a different phase in a longer time.
Intervening on risk indices to facilitate entry into the orange zone of
high-risk
regions
: according to what is learned, the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza would have proposed during the meeting between the government and the Regions, reiterating that the model of bands and that the lowering of the RT threshold will be confirmed in the new Dpcm: with 1 it goes to orange and with 1.25 to the red zone.
Without the restrictive measures introduced for the Christmas holidays "we would have other numbers"
, underlined Speranza during the meeting with the Regions, inviting us to look at what is happening in the rest of Europe, where there is "a complex situation".
The ban on hosting more than two relatives or friends at home
"proved to be a reasonable rule that worked during the Christmas period. I think it would make sense to confirm it,
" Speranza told Rai Radio2, Health Minister Roberto Speranza, at the end of the today's meeting between the Government and the regions.
"Tomorrow Parliament will be speaking and by Thursday Friday we will have a definitive text. The epidemiological situation is not to be underestimated, the epidemic is still very strong and for this - he reiterated - we still need restrictions and correct behavior".
"I told the Government - says Giovanni Toti via Facebook at the end of the meeting - that I am
opposed to the ban on take-away for restaurants and bars after 6 pm
".
"These activities, while being able to continue with home deliveries, risk being penalized even more, after having already undergone severe restrictions.
The introduction of a white zone
, as we had already proposed over a month ago, that is a zone where, virus permitting, a slow return to normality can begin ".
Companies that manage urban and suburban public transport that have implemented or will implement additional services for students
must be granted a relief for the lack of revenues from the sale of tickets and season tickets due to the reduction in the presence of other passengers
.
According to what is learned, this is what the president of ANCI Antonio Decaro would have asked during the meeting with the Regions and the government.
Otherwise, he added, "those companies cannot be expected to guarantee the additional services essential to ensure distancing for students".
All activities that remain closed "will be restored"
.
According to what is learned, this is what the Minister of Regional Affairs Francesco Boccia guaranteed to the Regions during today's meeting.
The minister reiterated the validity of the band system - "it has saved us twice from a new lockdown" - and reconvened the Regions for a new meeting on Thursday, after Health Minister Roberto Speranza illustrated the measures in Parliament.
In the morning,
the president of Lombardy Attilio Fontana
speaking to Sky TG24 made it known that "last week the RT has suddenly risen to 1.24 and taking into account the new parameters
we are certainly approaching the red zone
".
"I hope these numbers are reversed," he added, but if this does not happen, the risk of the red zone is more than real.
And in this case, the red zone provides for "the closure of all schools".
"
We are getting worse in all parameters
".
