All the new rules in the pipeline. What will the next anti Covid Dpcm look like according to journalistic rumors

Coronavirus infections in Italy continue to rise and the government plans to anticipate the Dpcm as early as Monday 12 October with the new restrictive measures, starting with anti-motion measures, considered indispensable to prevent the situation from getting out of control, writes Ansa .

Indeed, the crux of nightlife and conviviality to contain, as we learn from executive sources, was at the center of the meeting of the heads of delegation and prime minister Giuseppe Conte held on the afternoon of Saturday 10 October. And there was also discussion of the idea of closing the premises at 24 (yesterday we were thinking at 23), a time that would not have negative repercussions on restaurants.

At the meeting, the hypothesis also emerged, as mentioned, of bringing forward the launch of the Dpcm to Monday evening but – the sources explain to Ansa – since the deadlines are very tight, it cannot be excluded that the new tightening will be put in place, as expected on Wednesday evening.

We think, with concern, of the saturation of health facilities due to the influx of patients into ordinary and intensive care wards.

According to the strategic study for the autumn-winter phase, with the Rt contagiousness index higher than 1.2 – a level already reached in Campania -, in 2-3 months the hospitals would have an overload. Considering that we have not yet entered the phase of seasonal flu – whose peak is expected between February and March -, experts hope that measures will be effective and valid for 6 months.

Also for this purpose, the use of rapid tests alongside diagnostic swabs will be evaluated, in order to try to dilute the number of hours in cars that are increasingly forming at the drive in large cities.

Here are the measures in the pipeline according to Repubblica : “Ban for amateur contact sports. Stop the administration of take-away alcohol from 9 pm, as well as gatherings outside bars, wineries, pubs and restaurants. Closing of the premises at 24. Total block to parties in public places and also to private ones. Limit to diners in restaurants. Roof of thirty people for guests invited to weddings, baptisms and confirmations (the measure concerns the celebrations, but not the religious ceremony, which has other rules already established). More smart-working and, perhaps, a reduction in capacity on public transport, up to 80% so far. And finally, important news if validated this afternoon by the scientists: ten days of quarantine – instead of the fourteen currently scheduled – for the close contacts of the positives. In short, the government's tightening is ready, even if the measures are still being evaluated ”.

There is also another issue at the center of the confrontation between the Ministry of Health and CTS technicians: on Sunday 11 October the subject of the reduction to ten days of the quarantine for subjects who have come into close contact with the positives will be discussed with the Scientific Technical Committee. .

A measure that must however be interpreted: certainly not a signal of free all, nor a relaxation of rigor, but more simply an attempt – in the face of the exponential increase in cases – not to force hundreds of thousands of people into too long precautionary isolation. .

“Warning: this is not the positive quarantine, that is currently only unlocked with a double negative buffer and not before the two-week stop. These are those who have come into contact with positives, and as a matter of prudence are "stopped" waiting to see if they will get sick ", underline the technicians according to the news of the Republic .

CARD OF CORRIERE DELLA SERA ( here the full article ):

In many hospitals the wait to undergo the molecular swab has now exceeded 10 hours. The technical-scientific committee coordinated by Agostino Miozzo could suggest a green light for rapid tests (deemed to be 95% reliable) carried out by general practitioners and pediatricians, then subjecting only those who test positive to the swab. In this way, according to experts, health structures would be lightened and the mechanism that leads people into fiduciary isolation would be made more rational. That would be reduced to ten days.

Parking prohibited

To prevent gatherings, citizens will be forbidden to stop in front of bars, restaurants and pubs from 9 pm to 6 am. But also to gather in streets, squares and parks. The sale of alcohol will be allowed until 10 pm. While controls on the use of masks are strengthened, the government wants to prevent aggregations. And therefore you can stay inside the premises – following the guidelines already approved – but not stop outside unless you are seated at the table. The penalties imposed would be the same as those provided for those who go around without covering their nose and mouth: from 400 to 1,000 euros in fines.

Closing at 24

The tightening should also concern the closing times of bars and restaurants: all at 24. There has been resistance on this in recent days by both trade associations and governors, but the government seems determined to proceed, believing that it is a question of a useful measure to lower the possibility of contagion, without significantly affecting the economic performance.

No parties

A maximum of 30 people can attend banquets after weddings and baptisms. A choice that will inevitably affect the events already scheduled. We are moving towards a ban on all private parties and this will concern, for the first time, even the meetings organized in homes. A rule that aims to prevent contacts between non-cohabiting people, since it is not possible to guarantee the mandatory use of the mask. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte had already spoken of this when he recommended covering the nose and mouth even when one is in one's home with elderly people or people suffering from pathologies.

The soccer

The members of the Technical-Scientific Committee had already expressed themselves on this, calling for a limitation and the government is considering banning soccer, basketball and other contact sports at an amateur level. A measure that at the moment does not concern the professional level even if it could turn into a precedent if the epidemiological curve were to continue to rise.

Public transport

Already tomorrow there could be a slackening for high-speed trains with the possibility of going beyond the 50% expected now, but on buses and subways, a strengthening of the controls will be requested to enforce the rules while maintaining the distance for both those who sit and who travels on foot.

Smart working

The recommendation to companies to incentivize smart working to limit contacts between people in offices where the use of the mask is in force is confirmed, even if following the guidelines for the various types of activities and providing for an exclusion only for those who are in the room alone.
