Rome, November 17, 2020 – It is approaching Friday, when i new data on infections could have the government review i colors of some Regions. Red zone, orange or yellow? The hope of some governors is that the tightening will begin to be felt on the parameters and therefore we can begin to think about a better range. Whatever happens, however, the change should not be immediate.
The requests of the Regions
The first request of the Regions, who this morning participated in the confrontation with the government, is to simplify the evaluation method, limiting to a maximum of 5 clear and incontrovertible parameters, perhaps even before Friday’s ‘health report’. Currently, the parameters that decide the color of a region are as many as 21. The current scheme has been openly criticized by the number one of the Marche, Francesco Acquaroli, who fears, “if the yellow orange red pattern remains, an epidemic that stops and starts again several times, that goes up and down with the curve”.
Color change, when you can ask
Currently, to lower the alert in a region – by switching from red zone all’Orange to yellow and finally to green (in which at the moment there is no territory – in fact, it takes almost three weeks. The mechanism of the last Dpcm in fact provides that the request for a ‘color change’ can take place a week after its entry into force, but then two more data are needed to justify the change. So, to say, Lombardy, Piedmont, Calabria and Valle d’Aosta, which have undergone the squeeze since November 6, could exit the red zone on November 27th. Always, of course, that the parameters of the contagion authorize optimism.
Abruzzo red zone, Puglia at risk
The first news, however, is negative: theAbruzzo, in fact, he played in advance and from tomorrow (Wednesday 18 November) immediately goes in red zone from the current orange zone. The president of the Region, Marco Marsilio, decided autonomously. Another critical picture is that of Puglia: pressure increases to immediately declare it red zone (currently it is orange and the data, however, would not deteriorate), 118 has already sounded the alarm on collapsing structures. Healthcare personnel, insisted Pier Luigi Lopalco, epidemiologist and health councilor of Puglia, “is tired and stressed, Any measure that can alleviate the pressure on hospitals is welcome. “
Tuscany
The new president of the Tuscany, Eugenio Giani, has never argued about the measures taken, but now he seems to have lost patience. “Declaring us in the red zone was a bit excessive, the data has been stabilizing for a while.” The hope, therefore, is to return toOrange, but this is unlikely to happen before 11 December, if the mechanism remains the current one. Same times, in principle, too for the Campania, red from 15 November, and the orange ones Friuli, Marche and Emilia-Romagna.
Lombardy and Piedmont aim for the orange zone
Decisive hours also for Lombardy and Piedmont, that could abandon the red zone in favor of the orange one. But the switch will hardly happen before November 27 next, or after ‘two weeks’ of improving numbers. The deceleration of the contagion has been underlined by several parties, but the exponents of the medical-scientific world call for caution. On the other hand, the pressing of the productive categories for a lowering of the level of the alert remains heavy.
