As Governor Arno Kompatscher explained in an online press conference, the ordinance, in line with state guidelines, will be published tomorrow and will go into effect on Wednesday at 00:00 and will remain in effect until November 22, for three weeks.
«The document that we approved today in an extraordinary meeting of the board is in line with the national document of October 8 that had different scenarios planned. We have focused on this document, but currently the situation with the exponential increase in infections forces us to limit interpersonal contacts. Not everyone has followed the rules and been disciplined, so we have to proceed with the bans, to protect the health system and maintain school attendance, ”said Kompatscher.
To return to the new rules, retail will close on Wednesday in South Tyrol, while grocery stores and daily consumer goods will remain open. However, it will be closed on Sundays. Pharmacies, parapharmacies, kiosks are also open. Bars, restaurants and patisseries closed.

The governor added that South Tyrol’s health system is now better organized to deal with covid. Both for ICU beds, equipment, etc.
In recent months we have tried to maintain and make possible all economic activities, but currently the increase in infections forces us to give a response, said Kompatscher who has launched an appeal to citizens to respect the rules.
