Coronavirus, Tuscany and Campania towards the orange zone. Emilia Romagna towards the yellow

2 ‘reading

A new color change is coming for the Regions. On Friday, December 4, with the new ISS weekly report on the evolution of the epidemiological curve, the ordinances of the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza are also expected, which should officially sanction the passage of the band for a series of regions. It seems very likely that, based on the latest related to Rt, number of infections and hospitalizations, Tuscany and Campania could go from the red zone to the orange one and that Emilia Romagna and Marche could go back to the yellow band from the orange one in which they find each other.

Red to orange band

Along with Tuscany and Campania, the Aosta Valley should also go from the red zone to the orange one. The Alpine region had already protested vigorously last week when the expected step for the orange zone had not arrived. Abruzzo also aims to get out of the red zone and its governor Marco Marsili wrote a letter to Minister Speranza asking to get out of the more restrictive range in advance based on the latest data on the evolution of the epidemic in the Region.

Orange to yellow band

The disqualification of the orange to yellow area should affect not only Emilia Romagna and Marche, but also Friuli Venezia Giulia. For Emilia Romagna, President Stefano Bonaccini himself says he is sure: «I am waiting for the official status: if it is going to happen it is because in the last two weeks the restrictions have paid off. We had a Rt at 1.64 now it is around 1 and maybe it will go down again ».

What does it mean to go from one area to another

Conquering the “decalcification” of the regions means gaining important openings and facilities. Living in a red zone actually means the closing of bars, restaurants, shops, while in school distance learning is foreseen from the second grade (and not from the secondary school). It is also forbidden to move from one municipality to another, as well as to leave and enter the Region and self-certification is required to move. In the orange areas, on the other hand, the stores remain open and Dad is only allowed in high school, while circulation within a municipality is allowed. Finally, softer measures for the yellow zones where restaurants and bars are open until 6pm and shops until closing time.
