What will change with the Draghi anti Covid decree
All the details of the decree with the measures from March 15th to April 6th
Squeeze by the Draghi government on anti Covid measures. Here are all the details.
WHAT THE DRAGHI GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED
Green light from the council of ministers to the decree or law with the new anti Covid measures: from Monday 15 March until 6 April, the regions that will have a weekly number of cases greater than 250 per 100,000 inhabitants will automatically pass into the red zone.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT EASTER
For the Easter holidays, from 3 to 5 April, the measures envisaged for the red zone will apply throughout the national territory.
THE MOVEMENTS
However, it will be possible to move within your region to only one private home, once a day, maximum two people.
THE LAW DECREE
The second provision of the Draghi government to combat the coronavirus pandemic is a decree law – immediately in force, but to be converted into law within 60 days in Parliament – and not a dpcm (decree of the Prime Minister).
WHEN THE DECREE IS IN FORCE
In force from next Monday, March 15, and until April 6, it covers the Easter holidays in a similar way to what the Conte executive did with those of Christmas.
THE PROVINCES
The autonomous provinces of Bolzano and Trento, Basilicata, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto, Tuscany and Marche are the regions that will be red overall, between those that already are and those that should become so based on the worsening of the indicators.
Instead, there are 8 that are or should become orange: Abruzzo, Calabria, Liguria, Molise, Puglia, Sicily, Umbria, VDA. Sardinia should remain white.
EASTER IN RED
In the days of Easter and Easter Monday and the previous Saturday – 3, 4 and 5 April – Italy will be all in the red zone with the exception of any regions in the white zone (at the moment only Sardinia is). In those three days it will still be possible to make one visit per day within the region, maximum two adults with children under 14 or disabled or non self-sufficient living together, between 5 and 22.
FROM YELLOW TO ORANGE
In the remaining days, from March 15 to April 2 and April 6, all the regions in yellow will change to orange and it will be possible to visit one day with the same Easter restrictions, but only within the municipal area. On these days the movement will not be allowed in the red areas. As always, it will be possible to move for work, health or necessity reasons.
NEW RED ZONE CRITERIA
To establish the red zone in a region by order of the Minister of Health, the RT (transmissibility index) will no longer be considered as higher than 1.25 in the latest survey, but also the weekly incidence of more than 250 total cases out of 100 thousand inhabitants. The band change will be automatic.
RED LOCAL AREAS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE REGIONS
The orange regions will be able to identify areas to be brought into the red zone, when the incidence exceeds the threshold of 250 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants per week or when there is a presence of variants such as to require more restrictive measures.
DOSSIER RT
Rt up to 1.16 (from 1.06), and a major acceleration in incidence, with an expanding epidemic. This is what the Cabin of the Iss-Ministry of Health reveals on the weekly monitoring data. "In the week 1-7 March – underlines the report – we continue to observe" an important acceleration in the increase of the incidence at the national level compared to the previous week (225.64 per 100,000 inhabitants (01/03 / 2021-07 / 03 -2021) vs 194.87 per 100,000 inhabitants (02/22/2021 – 02/28/2021) ".
THE PERIODS
In the period 17 February – 02 March, the mean Rt calculated on symptomatic cases was equal to 1.16 (range 1.02-1.24), “an increase compared to the previous week and above one in the whole range. A value of Rt higher than 1 – the ISS recalls – indicates that the epidemic is expanding, with the number of cases increasing ”.
INTENSIVE THERAPIES
The employment rate in intensive care at the national level “is on the whole increasing and above the critical threshold (31% vs 26% last week)”. Overall, the press release states, the number of people admitted to intensive care is increasing from 2,327 (02/03/2021) to 2,756 (09/03/2021); the number of people hospitalized in medical areas is also increasing, going from 19,570 (02/03/2021) to 22,393 (09/03/2021). "This trend at a national level underlies strong inter-regional variations with some regions where the absolute number of hospitalized patients in the critical area and the relative impact, together with the incidence, nevertheless impose restrictive measures".
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CASES
There is also “a sharp increase in the number of new cases not associated with transmission chains (50,256 vs 41,833 the previous week). The percentage of cases detected through contact tracing remains stable (28.8%). On the other hand, the percentage of cases detected through the appearance of symptoms increased (37.8% vs 35.2% the previous week). Finally – concludes the ISS – 20.2% of cases were detected through screening activities and in 13.2% the reason for the diagnostic assessment was not reported ”.
