The restaurateurs of Naples immediately hurl themselves against the new closure: 'Closing is a terrible blow' "It is essential that the population avoid all occasions of contact with people outside your home that are not strictly necessary and to stay at home as much as possible. We remind you that it is mandatory to adopt rigorous individual behaviors and to respect the sanitary measures in place relating to spacing and correct use of masks ", highlights the draft of the weekly monitoring Iss-Ministry of Health. The governors agree in asking for homogeneous measures and to overcome the logic of color bands Yesterday the president of Emilia Romagna and of the Conference of Regions, Stefano Bonaccini, advocated the idea of ​​"a few weeks" and "homogeneous" restrictions on the whole national territory to slow down the virus race . Not a total lockdown, but the model could be similar to the one experienced during the Christmas holidays. On the other hand, the parameters are worsening a bit throughout Italy and the covid variants are starting to scare: the RT has gone from 0.95 to 0.99, touching the psychological threshold of 1; and Campania, Emilia-Romagna and Molise went to orange, reaching Abruzzo, L iguria, autonomous province of Trento and Tuscany. The autonomous province of Bolzano and Umbria, while falling within the orange band, have set up red zones at the regional level. They are not the only ones, because various red bands have been created within the territories to stop the race of variants: from the provinces of Pescara and Chieti to some municipalities of Piedmont and Lombardy. After the comparisons between the governors, the ball will pass to the government which will have to decide first of all whether to extend the stop between the regions, which expires on February 25, to March 5, in order to align it with the entry into force of the new Dpcm. How the colors change from Sunday 21 February New ordinance by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, based on the data and indications of the Control Room, which will come into force starting tomorrow, Sunday 21 February. The regions of Campania, Emilia Romagna and Molise pass in the orange area. From Sunday, therefore, this is the complete picture of the Regions: none in the red band (with Umbria and the Province of Bolzano which have already set up red zones at the regional level). In the orange band Abruzzo, Liguria, PA Bolzano, PA Trento, Tuscany, Umbria, Campania, Emilia Romagna and Molise. in the yellow band Basilicata, Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche, Piedmont, Puglia, Sardinia, Sicily, Valle Aosta and Veneto. None in the white band. Province of Perugia red zone extended "In light of a trend in the contagion curve that does not yet show a downward stabilization, and in the desire to inspire administrative action to the principle of maximum precaution", the Umbria Region has decided to extend for a week the ordinances on the red zone in the province of Perugia and in the municipality of San Venanzo in the Terni area. The town of Amelia instead returns to the orange zone. “It is necessary - affirms the President of the Region, Donatella Tesei - to extend the ordinances expiring on February 21st for a further week, in order to evaluate and appreciate the results of the restrictive measures adopted so far. I understand well the sacrifice to which the Umbrians are called. Already yesterday, after having talked about it this week also with the Minister of Health Speranza, I sent a second letter to the government to ask again that refreshments for businesses and aid to families resident in the areas where we have applied the most important measures be recognized. restrictive, in addition to what has already been allocated by the Region ". Yellow since the beginning of the month, Emilia Romagna returns to orange after three weeks. No surprise among the local administrators, first of all the governor Stefano Bonaccini who in recent days, data in hand, (the Rt index exceeds 1) had anticipated the possibility of a color change. The president of the Conference of the Regions activated with the ministers Gelmini and Speranza, inviting the Draghi government to reflect on the possibility of a change of rules in the fight against the pandemic: restrictions of "a few weeks" and "homogeneous" throughout the national territory (not a total lockdown) to slow down the virus' race, having acknowledged that, probably in an Italy that is increasingly orange, the system of coloring bands "shows some fragility". "In this situation it was inevitable to return to the orange zone and, if we are not careful, to the red zone". This was stated by the president of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, during the Facebook live stream on Friday. "The images seen in Campania and throughout Italy make you shiver - he adds - there is total relaxation. Sunday mornings with thousands of kids on the city's waterfront, mostly without masks, practically non-existent evening checks, some great city ​​of Campania abandoned to itself ". Brusaferro: declining incidence among the elderly "The incidence of cases among the over-80s is decreasing and this is a first important sign that shows us the importance of actively adhering to the vaccination campaign. This in fact has a reflection on the incidence", said the president of the Higher Institute of Health, Silvio Brusaferro, at the press conference organized by the Ministry of Health on the analysis of the regional monitoring of the control room. "We recommend great attention, with the increase in prevention measures and also with timely measures and closures that the regions concerned are already adopting", says the President of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità. "There are now few low-risk regions, the incidence at national level is slightly increasing and the average RT is close to 1. All this shows us how the apparently stable scenario is actually sliding towards a worsening. This requires great attention. , especially for the circulation of variants ".
