In the fight against the epidemic, the double track between the government and the local authorities continues to prevail, the latter proceeding in a random order, now more severe, now more permissive than the rules established by Rome.

The same ordinance immediately imposes the obligation to wear masks 24 hours a day even outdoors in cases where it is not possible to respect the distance of one meter. Passengers without certification and who will be subjected to the swab in Sardinia are obliged to remain in fiduciary home isolation pending the results of the exam.
