Missilmeri and Bronte, the established red zones
After the detection campaign and the two outbreaks that broke out in two homes for the elderly, the mayor of Misilmeri Rosario Rizzolo requested and obtained from the Region the establishment of the red zone in the municipality that is located on the outskirts of Palermo. There are 364 cases registered in the last week, many of which arose thanks to the quick swabs carried out among the school population, considering both students and teaching and technical staff. The provision, in effect from November 15 to 25, also provides for the closure of schools and public offices.
