The pandemic is running and the risk is that hospitals may soon find themselves in trouble.

The Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, presents himself to the Chambers for communications with which he illustrates the next Dpcm: an unprecedented parliamentary passage, from the beginning of the pandemic, with which the premier intends to make the rooms of Montecitorio and Palazzo Madama protagonists, but above all to involve the opposition in the decision-making chain, after the center-right rejected the idea of ​​a bicameral commission.

For the premier, "dialogue with Parliament is fundamental", as he underlines taking the floor, and the invitation to sit at the table with the majority remains valid: "The government's proposal" to the center-right for a confrontation "remains and does not aims at a confusion of roles. I have proposed to the leaders of the opposition a discussion table with the government. At the moment this proposal has been rejected, if there were second thoughts I can confirm that the government proposal remains unchanged ".

At the end of the voting on

majority and opposition resolutions,

the first signs of a possible convergence can be detected: the Chamber approves the majority resolution by separate parties, the center-right abstains on the device, with the exception of the sixth paragraph.

In the end, 284 votes in favor, 178 abstentions and 1 against.

"Important signs of collaboration in the Chamber", defines them the Pd secretary, Nicola Zingaretti.

"To unite the forces of each and every one, whatever their role and convictions": the words of the President of the Republic, yesterday, visiting the stele commemorating the victims of Covid in the province of Brescia, seem to have hit the mark, even if the path remains narrow.

The Prime Minister, before illustrating the new measures to deal with the pandemic, focuses on some data.

As in the rest of Europe, also "in our country

the situation is worsening

, the resurgence has led to a significant multiplication of infections" which is leading to "a worrying crowding" in hospitals, in particular "in sub-intensive and in the medical area in general. It is necessary to ease the pressure in the emergency rooms ", explained the premier," and to increase the possibility of screening in the Italian population ".

Hence, the choice to act with

differentiated measures for each region

, before reaching a scenario of 'Type 4', the worst, which would lead to a generalized lockdown.

"We are forced to intervene with a view to prudence" to implement new measures and "to carry out a strategy to contain the contagion", explains Conte to a classroom that does not register large gaps.

"This strategy must be modulated according to the situation of the regions. For this reason we will adopt a decision for modulated interventions on the basis of high risks in the territory on the basis of scientific criteria. We will introduce a

differentiated regime based on different regional scenarios

", adds the premier putting the I point to an issue that has led to tensions with the regions: some governors, in fact, insisted until this morning's meeting on the need to provide uniform measures throughout the national territory.

To modulate the individual interventions

, the contagion index will be taken into account

which, at national level, "is 1.7 but in some regions the figure is higher. There is a high probability that 15 regions will exceed the critical thresholds in the areas of intensive care and medical areas in the next month ".

In this regard, the measures envisaged are the

closure of museums

, the closure of

shopping centers

on weekends and on all holidays and holidays, the

limit of circulation in the late evening

,

and distance learning for secondary schools

.

At the end of his communications, the Premier makes Mattarella's appeal his own: "No one can feel exempt from this historic challenge, and once again I take the liberty of inviting all the forces, all the energies of the country: we remain united, we remain united in this dramatic moment. In spite of the different ideas, convictions, in the name of unity, of the values ​​that are the foundation of our coexistence, of our constitutional framework ".

Vaccine distribution plan


"The Ministry of Health, at my request, is already developing a vaccine distribution plan so that when the first doses arrive we can proceed in an organized manner, according to an orderly plan. I reasonably foresee that we will favor the groups of the vaccines. the most fragile and vulnerable population and the operators most exposed to danger "Conte announced in his communications to the Senate.

"Among the most vulnerable groups, the government also considers

the elderly

, it is our loved ones, our parents, our grandparents who have allowed our country to experience the economic miracle" the prime minister then stressed, indicating the elderly as one of the categories to which the vaccine will be destined immediately.
