Epidemiological restrictions will be further tightened in the Italian provinces of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Emilia Romagna from November 14 to December 3, the MTI writes, according to an announcement by local governors.
The tightening, which will take effect on Saturday, will last for two weeks in the three neighboring provinces closest to Hungary.
Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Emilia Romagna have received a yellow plus category, which until now has been considered yellow, that is, a low-risk area, by changing the classification. The decision was made by the Ministry of Health together with the provincial leaders.
The borders of the provinces will not be closed, so entry to their territory will remain free and movement within the regions will be allowed.
Commerce will not close for the week, but it will be austerity to close all stores beyond shopping malls on Sunday, except for grocery stores and essentials. During the week, stores can only receive one-to-one customers. Customers over the age of sixty-five receive the first two hours after the official opening hours.
Restaurants are only open from 3-6pm and only seating is allowed. The central and most visited streets of the cities are closed, even walking is prohibited. Outdoor sports are allowed in the larger parks on the outskirts. Elementary school students can still study in the classroom, but will fail physical education, as well as singing and music lessons.
We must do everything possible not to fall into the red zone, so it is better to make a small sacrifice now
The Venetian governor Luca Zaia declared.
As of November 6, the territory of Italy was divided into areas of different colors according to the severity of the epidemic. It is considered a red area, that is, highly epidemic.

Received a yellow plus rating
- Friuli Venezia Giulia,

- Emilia Romagna.
The rest of the country is considered yellow, currently there is no green zone as none of the regions is free from the epidemic.
Thanks to gradually introduced restrictions, the epidemic curve has stabilized, with just over 30,000 new patients a day. However, the hospital burden has reached a critical level and the daily death toll is high, reaching 623 on Wednesday. This figure was the last so high in early April.
The professor of medicine Massimo Galli, a virologist at the Sacco Hospital in Milan, spoke about a health emergency and stressed that so many patients arrive at the same time that hospitals do not even accept less serious cases.
Therefore, patients go home or do not leave the hospital, they are left alone and are soon transported back to the hospital as critically ill patients.
Galli declared. He explained that the only solution to the epidemic could be vaccination.
Until then, the restrictions should not be lifted, and what happened in summer cannot be repeated at Christmas, as it will translate into the current serious situation.

Walter Ricciardi, a consultant for the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Italian government, said: Christmas this year will be different, there will be a great celebration, we must keep it in a close family circle.
