Working “all together” to give the vaccination campaign a change of pace and reach 500 thousand doses per day, given that almost 3 million doses will arrive in the next week. The government and Prime Minister Mario Draghi will meet with the Regions in the next few hours to overcome divisions and misunderstandings, after the Prime Minister’s reprimand to the territories for delays and differences in administration, “difficult to accept”. A summit that arrives with the executive committed to finalizing the decree law with the measures that will be in force after Easter: a provision that should be ready by mid-week and could include a sort of verification in mid-April to evaluate the possibility of reopen, if the epidemiological situation allows it, some activities before May, starting with bars and restaurants for lunch.
The meeting between Draghi, the ministers Roberto Speranza and Mariastella Gelmini, the commissioner for the emergency Francesco Figliuolo, the head of the Civil Protection Fabrizio Curcio and the Regions will therefore serve to reiterate the priorities indicated by the national plan and to fine-tune the steps to the next few days, following the double track strategy indicated by Figluolo: hubs and vaccination points in the cities, mobile stations to reach the most isolated villages and areas in a widespread manner. With the arrival of over a million doses of Pfizer, over 500 thousand of Moderna and 1.3 million of Astrazeneca, the territories will have those vaccines that they have been asking for for weeks in order to get the campaign off the ground. But precisely for this reason we cannot go wrong and therefore, is the message of the government, the state is ready to intervene with the military and volunteers in case of difficulty. Without “putting bans and threatening measures”, as Draghi said last Friday, but working all together and following a single criterion which is that of age.
The Regions will bring their requests, first of all the redistribution of doses based on the population, and will reiterate that the government and the territories have the same interests and the same objectives. “We need to tighten the bolts” says the president of the Conference of Regions Stefano Bonaccini, who then stops those governors – De Luca in the lead – who have gone forward by announcing that they want to buy vaccines on their own, starting from Sputnik. “We are a nation, we are not 20 small countries. If a Region alone bought vaccines authorized by Ema and Aifa, they should be shared among all Italians ”.
With the vaccine doses, the decree with the new measures will also arrive this week. A meeting of the CTS is scheduled in the next few hours and the text should be ready on Wednesday: in addition to the ad hoc rules for health personnel, the obligation to vaccinate for doctors and nurses in contact with the public and the criminal shield for those who administer the doses limiting the punishment only to cases of gross negligence, it could foresee the verification of the epidemiological situation in the middle of the month to evaluate, in case the contagion data are decreasing and the pressure on the health structures is eased, the relaxation of some restrictions. One thinks, in particular, of bars and restaurants, which would be allowed to open for lunch, cinemas and theaters but also for high school students back to class. A point of mediation between the rigorist wing of the government and those who, League in the lead, are pushing to reopen the country. Forza Italia speaks explicitly of the verification with the group leaders Occhiuto and Bernini and the hypothesis does not displease the Lega which, says Matteo Salvini, “works with and for Draghi” and has the aim “of reopening activities in Italian cities after Easter with the health situation under control ».
This is why party sources call for “not to take for granted” the closure of Italy for the entire month of April “and reiterate that every decision will be taken” by evaluating the data “. Which is what Speranza has been repeating for days and what Draghi also said. And given that from tomorrow more than half of Italy will be in the red zone, with Calabria, Tuscany and Valle d’Aosta being added to the 8 regions and the province of Trento, and the data show that there are still 20 thousand infections and 300 victims at the day, nearly 3,700 patients in intensive care, at the moment talking about reopening is premature.
The decree will therefore effectively renew all the measures currently in force: cancellation of the yellow zone, no visits to relatives and friends in the red zone, movements still prohibited between regions, closed bars, restaurants, cinemas, theaters, museums, swimming pools and gyms. The most important news is that concerning schools: there will be a return to attendance up to sixth grade also in the red zone, as was foreseen in the previous decree, while in the orange zones all students up to the eighth grade and 50% of those will be in the classroom. high school. As for second homes, they can always be reached even in the red zone, as long as they are owned or with a rent prior to January 14 and there are no ordinances of the regional presidents prohibiting their use by non-residents.
