Italy began a phased transition from a rigid quarantine, the country introduced in connection with the pandemic coronavirus. Today, after a two month break, resumed the work of industrial and construction companies, textile factory and wholesale. However, the return to a normal life so far: small and medium businesses, bars, restaurants, major retailers, museums, theatres, Barber shops and beauty salons remain closed as an educational institution. Still prohibited from going to Church, and trips around the country. The decision of the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte to lift the quarantine gradually based on the prevention of doctors that if you open all at once, the country can cover the second wave of the pandemic. C details — the correspondent of “Kommersant” in Rome Helen Pushkarskaya.The slogan beginning on 4 may in Italy a gradual release from quarantine, known officially as the “Phase 2” has become a medical “do No harm!”. Earlier took the brunt of the pandemic in Europe, Italy is forced to remove isolation mode, observing extreme caution: While received the opportunity to return to their jobs only 4.5 million people employed in large-scale industry, building construction companies and wholesale trade.As it happens, “Kommersant” said the President of one of the largest Italian construction companies Fincantieri, Giuseppe Bono. According to him, out of 9 thousand employees of the company from may 4 to work out a quarter (the rest remain at home). The company management has decided not to release all to ensure that the sanitary-epidemiological situation remains under control.At Fincantieri, a division which in the first stage of the quarantine continued the erection of the steel frame of the bridge in Genoa (it will replace the collapsed 14 August 2018 aqueduct) there is a negative experience of rejection of self-isolation. In March, when one of the workers was discovered coronavirus, all 49 of his team was quarantined and they had to replace, not to mention the fact that all working areas have been subjected to strict disinfection.Similarly, it is not excluded a return to the old regime of quarantine, if the epidemiological situation will worsen. The real picture, which was outlined on Thursday by Minister of emergency situations of Italy Angelo Borelli, looks like. On the one hand, in the country for several weeks reduced the number of cases. According to Mr. Borelli, recorded on 30 April 1872 in new cases is “a record low”. Optimism strengthens, and the fact that 4692 the person recovered.On the other hand, recorded April 30, the mortality rate of 285 people, is still too high. At the same apprehensive of mathematical calculations, which, in the country there may be 6 million to 9 million asymptomatic carriers. Another factor ��Tiliwaldi uncertainty— the inability to quickly mass testing of the population. In order to realize the promise of the Minister of health Roberto Speranza 5 million tests for coronavirus, it will take another two months.These circumstances and due to the fact that 4 may was for the Italians the long-awaited day of the complete lifting of the quarantine. Bars, restaurants, boutiques, major retailers, museums, theatres and cinemas, Barber shops and beauty salons, sports clubs and fitness centers, schools and even churches remain closed.Besides, it is allowed to return to the place of permanent residence to all those who were caught in a quarantine in other cities where they worked or studied.Trips to country houses it is still prohibited. Leaving the apartment, you still need to have a Declaration in which he added a graph, justifying leaving the house: “a visit with a loved one.”Leaving out the ironic comments in social networks that caused this vague wording, it’s safe to say that such a partial lifting of the quarantine has caused widespread disappointment and discontent.One of the first with criticism of the authorities was made by the Italian Episcopal conference (CEI). Its President is Monsieur Gualtiero of Basetti accused the government of violating the rights of freedom of worship. Since may 4 allowed only a burial service in the Church, and involving no more than 15 people.However, a scandal erupted quickly extinguished, Pope Francis. During the deserted morning Liturgy in the Vatican Santa Marta, the Pontiff urged his remaining virtual flock to obedience (in this case, to the fulfillment of the government decree). Following the Prime Minister Conte, the head of the Roman Catholic Church said: “the Main thing today to pandemic again never came back.”It is much harder to understand the situation from the heads of regions, especially those where those in power are the governors from the opposition. The leaders of the 13 areas of the center-right forces, wrote to President Sergio mattarella of the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, and the leadership of Parliament the letter with the requirement to provide them during the “Phase 2” the right to set the calendar of release from quarantine. The heads remaining the main source of diseases in the Lombardy, where 2 may have been registered 533 new cases, reported willingness to open restaurants, hairdressers, shops and other small businesses. Then all went to a newly selected from the right of center Governor of Calabria, the JEOL Santelli, ordered to open in their area of restaurants and bars by April 30. Never pertubative Minister of regional Affairs Francesco Boccia promised that if Ms. Santelli will not cancel my order, she BUchildren to answer in court.However, the question of why a country, where regions vary widely according to the epidemiological situation, should follow the same rules, naturally. Indeed, in the seven southern regions, including Basilicata, Apulia, Molise, for more than a week not a single death case of coronavirus, while only in Veneto, on may 1, they were 84.In addition to the official explanation of the unity of the national transport system, as well as the risk of infection in the southern regions where the medicine is not ready to fight the epidemic, a single national rules out of quarantine also have political implications. Much is due to tensions between the Central government and those areas that are controlled by opposition governors.Generators of appeals “Give us freedom!” and “Open country!” became the leaders of the opposition parties, the “League” Matteo Salvini and “Brothers of Italy” by George Maloney.Trying to find a compromise with the regions, in his speech in Parliament a report on the transition to “Phase 2” the Prime Minister Conte has promised that starting from 18 may, in the case of improving the epidemiological situation, the regions will be able to set their own schedules release from quarantine.In the original scenario assumed the simultaneous opening of retailers on 18 may, while restaurants and bars were supposed to resume on 1 June.However, the desire of the opposition to Express itself, often overpowering the security concerns — not only public, but personal. So, a leading TV channel la7 Enrico Mentana commented on vigil in the hall of the lower house of Parliament deputies of the “League” before the show premiered. Deputies called the action “occupation of Parliament” in protest against the “undemocratic methods” of government control. However, the authorship of a thesis on the unconstitutionality of the methods the Prime Minister Conte does not belong to the opposition, and personally the former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, whose party Viva Italia is part of the government majority.These charges required the intervention of the President Sergio Mattarella, who acts as the guarantor of the basic law. He gave a written explanation, stating that the actions of the Prime Minister of the Italian Constitution do not contradict.However, Matteo Renzi threatens to exit Viva Italia from the ruling coalition. And although the party is Matteo Renzi heavyweight is not a government crisis, former Prime Minister able to provide. If such a scenario will be implemented, Italy will become the first and so far the only country that started the change of government during a pandemic.
