May 10, 2021 There is still a clash over the curfew between Governors who ask to postpone it from 22 to 24 (if not even to suspend it) in line with many politicians and virologists who instead are holding back fearing a surge in new infections. 



"I believe there are the conditions to move the night stop to 11.00 or 24.00 and to give breath to economic operators without letting their guard down in the fight against the virus. I am to continue with the reopening plan already defined by the government, which provided for also the possible revision of the current limit of 22, on the basis of infections ". Thus the governor of Emilia Romagna Stefano Bonaccini in the 'Corriere della sera' where he points out that "laws and rules must be enforced, because they serve to protect people's health. Let's not ruin everything now that spaces of normality awaited for months are back to open. There are those who ask for reopenings, raising the stakes every day to try to stop the fall in the polls, and there are those who do.Whoever transforms these measures into partisan battles is not in the interest of institutions and economic operators ".



Then the chapter 'green pass' which for Bonaccini is "a useful tool to guarantee the possibility of travel, to support tourism. But it also improves prevention, safety and health protection. All that is needed for a season must be done. summer that sees our country as a protagonist. The government is committed to standardizing the rules on internal movements of Italians with those on foreigners who want to come to Italy from 'safe' countries. It is essential that operators can have certainties ".



Toti: "It would be better to remove it and increase controls"

The curfew "would be more appropriate to remove it completely and keep a very high level of controls, which is what has been lacking in this year". Thus the president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti. "I understand that for the police it is an additional task, sometimes unpleasant and tiring, but the issue is not who is sitting a quarter past eleven to finish the coffee or the coffee killer in an orderly place, the problem is what the nightlife degenerates after midnight ", added the governor. "I do not see why a sector worth billions of income should be penalized because someone does not respect the rules. Do we prohibit the use of the car because someone exceeds the speed limit? We risk a reasoning that is a legal absurdity", concluded Toti.



Decaro: "We hope to reach the summer without a curfew "

"The municipalities will ask the government to proceed with the reopening in parallel with the vaccinations". So Antonio Decaro, President of Anci, mayor of Bari. And he adds: "We hope to arrive in summer without having a curfew anymore. If we respect the restrictions, the mask, the distancing, we will certainly have no particular problems. that we have overcome the pandemic, and unfortunately this is not the case, we risk finding ourselves again with infections and with the increase in the employment rate of the Covid wards, intensive care wards and other closures ".

Renzi: "Before we remove the curfew and better"

"The reopening is a moral duty and economic priorities. First we take the best curfew. The virus does not become bad at 22 and we have to go in restaurants, cinemas, theaters. To kill the virus you need vaccines, not secular sermons from some catastrophist ". Thus the senator of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, in an interview with Corriere della Sera.



Salvini: "We will ask for the abolition of curfews in the CDM"

Meanwhile, the leader of the League continues to reiterate that "in the next CDM the ministers of the Northern League will ask for everyone to return to work safely, without discrimination, and no to the curfew that someone wanted to confirm until June or even July". And he concludes: "You cannot keep 60 million Italians locked up at home"



Crisanti: "The more you meet, the easier it is to transmit the virus"

"I understand the difficulty of understanding the curfew but you have to explain to people that the transmission of the virus is linked to probabilities. The more you meet, the easier the transmission. Being in front of people for hours without a mask certainly increases the likelihood of contagion. virus is transmitted in the morning, as in the evening, but the curfew makes a small contribution to the control of RT, because every little action, added to others, helps us to get out of the pandemic as soon as possible ". The microbiologist of the University of Padua, Andrea Crisanti, explained this to Agorà, on Rai 3, responding to the hypothesis of postponing or abolishing the curfew.



This precautionary principle for Crisanti would have been better used also for reopening. "We opened 2 or 3 weeks early. Why let the frail take unnecessary risk and not wait a couple of weeks to be calmer". The race, on the other hand, "is between vaccination and the virus". Because thanks to vaccines we see a significant decrease in lethality. "The dynamics of deaths - he points out - reflect vaccinations. Making comparisons and projections with infections we see that we are facing a significant decrease in lethality attributable to vaccinations in the rsa and the elderly. There is no doubt that the vaccine works." concluded - we just have to vaccinate as soon as possible ".


"The competition is between vaccination and the virus. It was enough to wait a couple of more weeks to be calmer. Why take unnecessary risks for frail people?"

Galli: "To postpone curfew we look at the numbers"

To decide whether to postpone the curfew at midnight "we look at the numbers. For me the signal must still be attention. If we really open everything and in any case, there will no longer be a signal of attention, it has not been there for 15-20 days and we still have to see, at the end of the month, what will be the balance of the 28 days following the openings ".

This was stated by Massimo Galli, director of the Infectious Diseases department of the Sacco hospital in Milan.
