The number of high-risk provinces has risen to eight, after the Campania and Tuscany regions have also been classified as red. The restrictions take effect on Sunday. Currently, this category of danger includes Lombardy, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta, Alto Adige, Bolzano and the region and Calabria.
Campania and Tuscany have so far been yellow, which means less dangerous areas. The transition to the red zone means that the outer borders of the provinces will be closed, and even between the cities of the region, it will only be possible to travel for work, school or other compelling reasons. In addition to the night curfew, you can only go out on the streets with a permit during the day, and hospitality and commerce will stop.
The provinces of Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Marche received a moderately dangerous orange rating. This includes Abruzzo, Basilicata, Liguria, Umbria, Puglia, and Sicily. Orange areas can also only be entered with a permit.
The least dangerous yellow zones continued to be Lazio, Veneto, Molise, Trentino and Sardinia.
In one day, 40,902 new patients were examined after nearly 38,000 24 hours earlier. This is the highest daily number of cases since February.
More than 255,000 tests were carried out, twenty thousand more than the day before. Approximately 31,000 patients are treated in the hospital and there are 3,230 in the intensive care unit. The number of active patients approached 700,000. In one day 550 patients died, after the previous 636. The death toll rose to 44,139.
In Rome, part of the yellow zone, the pedestrian streets of the city center are closed for the weekend, where a large crowd swarmed the previous Saturday-Sunday, even though the shops were closed. Metro stops in the city center will also be closed and a limited number of pedestrians will be allowed on some streets.
In Rome, in the square in front of the Pantheon, the hosts again staged an anti-government demonstration, which included restaurant owners who walked from Florence to the capital as a token of their protest against the restrictions.
In Naples, market workers protested in the city center, demanding “taxes on the rich.”
They are working to establish epidemiological field hospitals in the city of a million in the south and are looking for anesthesiologists even from abroad.
