The goal declared immediately by the new Prime Minister Mario Draghi is speed up the vaccination campaign, to secure Italy from Covid to restart it. The first unofficial indications, anticipated by the Corriere della Sera. Not a total lockdown as proposed by some virologists, but limited red zones to block the circulation of the coronavirus variants. As for vaccines, the hypothesis would be to use barracks and spaces in airports to speed up the campaign.
VACCINES
Civil protection comes into play, it would in fact be the task of this, directly dependent on the Prime Minister’s office, to manage the vaccination campaign. The delays to be recovered are mainly due to the non-delivery by the pharmaceutical industries, but also large and available facilities are needed to administer the vaccines.
The current special commissioner for the emergency Domenico Arcuri would only have to manage the supply of the doses. Civil defense and military would come into play for distribution and administration. We need large spaces. Bologna is doing it in the Fiera, Rome uses a wing of the Leonardo da Vinci airport. The example to follow is this, already existing spaces such as barracks, gyms, fairs and airports, in addition to existing vaccination centers. No primroses, no new structures.
CLOSURES
These days, especially the variants of the virus that make the contagion curve grow are frightening. However, total lockdown would not be the way chosen by the government, but targeted interventions with local closures, limited red areas as is being done now in Umbria with most shops closed, such as schools, and a ban on travel. Municipalities, cities, provinces could be closed. There is unlikely to be a relaxation of the bans currently in force which are valid until March 5, the expiry date of the Conte government’s Dpcm.
The division by color should remain: red, orange, yellow and white. Instead, there may be a change of parameters of the RT. Now it goes in the orange band with the RT at 1 and 1.25 in the red band, the thresholds could be lowered.
The government will have to decide what activities to start after March 5th and which ones to keep still. Among the hypotheses is that of the opening of the restaurants in the yellow band also in the evening. Then there are gyms and swimming pools for which new guidelines have arrived for the reopening with distancing. Still on stand by cinemas and theaters.
