Covid emergency: restrictive measures to be consolidated and possibly to be strengthened with a sort of lockdown for the Christmas holidays. This is what the CTS experts would have reiterated, according to what is learned, in the meeting with Prime Minister Conte and with the heads of delegation. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health makes it known that in the last 24 hours they have been registered 12.030 new positive cases (yesterday 17.938); there are 491 new deaths (yesterday 484).
Currently the positive cases are 675.109 or 10.922 less than yesterday. As for the discharged healed, those registered in the last few hours are 22.456. Certainly comforting data but which do not satisfy the experts. The members of the CTS are clamoring for a new squeeze on anti-Covid limitations. The overriding goal is to avoid the third wave of infections.
Experts are calling for a new lockdown for the Christmas holidays
The need for a new tightening, it was explained by the technicians, is linked to the impossibility on the one hand of a capillary control of the territory and on the other hand to data that are still "worrying". In fact, the incidence of new cases is still too high: in the last monitoring it was 193 per 100 thousand inhabitants, when it should be 50 per 100 thousand in order to guarantee tracing.
“Italy - note the experts of the Scientific technical committee - it also has a daily death toll that exceeds that of Germany (which, however, has 20 million more inhabitants). Furthermore, in more than half of our country, health facilities are still under stress. So the conclusion is that we need to extend the measures, otherwise we will be in trouble in January ”.
