The provinces of Campania and Tuscany have also been classified as epidemic-prone red zones. A curfew was ordered throughout the day. The restrictions will take effect on Sunday, the MTI said.
At present, Lombardy, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta, Alto Adige, Bolzano and their region, as well as Calabria, are the most dangerous in terms of infection.
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.
550 patients died in 24 hours, compared to 636 before. The death toll rose to 44,139.
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 outside during the day with a permit. Hospitality and commerce will also 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. Less dangerous yellow zones remained: Lazio, Veneto, Molise, Trentino and Sardinia.
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 demonstrated in the city center demanding “taxes from 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.
