The aim is to contain sociability – hence also interventions on the roads and on the Adriatic coast to block nightlife – and meeting opportunities, without having to intervene in mobility between regions. A fundamental difference also for the purposes of trade and economic activities: being a very sensitive issue, only after a final round of consultations will measures be defined to regulate the opening of clubs and shops on weekends. And we will define in detail how to prioritize at certain times (most likely first thing in the morning) to those over 65 to allow them to buy with confidence.

Another check of the control room is scheduled for tomorrow and, according to the new data, Italy could change color again: under the lens there are, in addition to Campania, precisely Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Governors Bonaccini, Fedriga and Zaia, unlike their colleague De Luca from Campania, were immediately available for the squeeze, insisting, however, that the executive do its part, or rather pay its part: in fact, they ask help for each production activity. that closes.
