Coronavirus worldwide: Oxford vaccine production delayed – World

The Italian government today announced a new package of measures against the coronavirus, which includes a national evening and stricter rules for regions with a high level of infection, reported DPA, cited by BTA. This occurred shortly before the Ministry of Health announced 30,500 new cases and 352 victims per day.

The new measures It will come into force tomorrow and will be valid until December 3. In addition to the afternoon hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., the new restrictions include museum closures, online training for high school and college students and a reduced number of passengers on public transport.

But the decree, signed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, also states additional steps for regions marked in orange and redwhere the risk of infection is greatest. In the “orange” regions, bars and restaurants will be closed. People will not be able to enter or leave the “orange” areas, although there will be exceptions to go to work. In the “red” regions, in addition to these measures, it is expected that shops that are not essential will be closed. Only those who sell food, medicine and other basic products will work. Distance learning will include the last two classes of high school.

The restrictions in the red category regions were defined as a “mild form of quarantine” and are not as strict as the regime imposed throughout Italy during the first wave of the pandemic. The government has not yet announced which regions will be “orange” and which will be “red,” but this is determined by a number of public health parameters. The Lombardy and Piedmont districts in the industrial north of the Apennines are expected to be declared “red” as indicators have reached critical levels there.

Last month, the number of infection cases increased dramatically and on Sunday newly established cases reached a record high of almost 32,000 cases per day. Yesterday their number decreased slightly to 28,244.
