Covid, reopening gyms and swimming pools: Cts against

According to the indications of the experts, it should be possible to reopen the gyms and swimming pools only when the number of infections has fallen below the threshold. In short, times are getting longer

With the English variant of the coronavirus that worries experts for its greater diffusion capacity, the government seems to be taking the path of prudence also indicated by the Technical Scientific Committee for reopening. And so the date on which it will be possible to return to use indoor gyms, swimming pools and sports centers moves away. According to the indications of the experts, who responded to the requests of the government, it should be possible to reopen the gyms and swimming pools only when the number of infections has dropped below the guard threshold of 50 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, the scenario that would allow the regions that were able to reach him and pass in the white band.

The basic problem, in fact, would not be so much the reopening of the structures itself, but what the reopening could mean. The English variant, in fact, seems 38% more contagious and estimates speak of its prevalence already within the first two weeks of March. These would be the reasons that prompted the technicians summoned last night by Prime Minister Mario Draghi to suggest the path of prudence, as explained by the coordinator of the CTS Agostino Miozzo at the exit from Palazzo Chigi: “We have not talked about reopening, we will talk about it some other time. On Friday there will be a new picture of the situation, then we’ll see. We have represented the data and numbers from a scientific point of view to President Draghi. We are cautious, but we have not described a situation of imminent catastrophe ”. And, answering the questions of the journalists who were waiting for him, he concluded that “Draghi is not an aperturist or a penalty shooter, he listens and listened carefully”.

According to the Scientific Technical Committee, therefore, the system of the Dpcm that will expire on March 5 would be confirmed, keeping gyms and swimming pools closed for at least a few more weeks, despite the pressure that would come from some political forces that support Prime Minister Draghi. The intention of the Prime Minister, however, would still be to launch a new decree already in the coming days and well in advance of the deadline of March 5, in such a way as to give everyone the opportunity to organize themselves with the new rules which, however, they should not be too different from those already in place.
