First the control room, then the Council of Ministers who will pass the decree with the new measures to contain the fourth wave of Covid while avoiding generalized closures, which with Christmas at the gates would block the economic recovery and give the coup de grace to the winter tourism.

In eight regions the percentage of beds occupied rises, while in Friuli, with an incidence of 317 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, hospitalizations at 17% and intensive care at 15%, all the parameters that trigger the yellow zone have been exceeded.

The system of the provision is outlined, German-style 2G model for social life and double track of the green certificate. A Super Green pass for vaccinated and recovered, which will be able to access restaurants, clubs, cinemas, theaters, swimming pools, gyms, stadiums. A Green pass that can also be obtained with a swab to access workplaces, trains and airplanes.

"We can no longer afford - says Minister for Regional Affairs Mariastella Gelmini - to return to the season of lockdowns and refreshments". The hardest is Brunetta: "Whoever does not want to get vaccinated - reiterates the owner of the Public Administration - will have to do home and work because otherwise he would endanger others".

Salvini, who maintains a wait-and-see position, did not speak. Yesterday he saw the governors of the Northern League, who are among those who push the most on the measure, they convinced him that the tightening is necessary.

Not everything is decided, the control room will have to undo two fundamental knots. Since the new measures are taken (two hypotheses on the table, next Monday or the first weekend of December). And the band starting from which the super Green pass will be applied: the rigorist wing of the government and also many regions would like it to be triggered regardless of color, therefore also in the white area. Part of the government and other regions, on the other hand, believe that the measures should take place from the yellow zone onwards.

The synthesis is up to Mario Draghi as usual. The political knots on the other two measures that will be introduced with the decree are all resolved: the reduction of the duration of the Green pass, from 12 to 9 months, and the introduction of the obligation of the third dose for healthcare professionals and RSA personnel.

Neither the vaccination obligation for other categories should arrive, at least for the moment (we were talking about school staff, law enforcement and PA employees) nor a reduction in the duration of tampons (from 48 to 24 hours the antigenic, 72 to 48 the molecular).

Some Regions have also asked for the obligation of outdoor masks in the white area. This was announced by the Lazio Region Health Councilor Alessio D'Amato: "The hypothesis of outdoor masks was put on the table by the Regions in confrontation with the government, it is a measure that should be adopted immediately throughout Italy regardless by colors ". Measure required especially in view of the holiday, when there will certainly be several gatherings due to shopping.
