Official, Red Zone of Lombardy | What’s changing from Friday, November 6, 2020

Lombardy is officially in the “red regions”, that is, those with the highest risk of covid-19. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said this in explaining the newly signed Dpcm.

In fact, despite the doubts of the governors (and Mayor Beppe Sala), for Milan and Lombardy it is a general confinement. Moving is prohibited and you will no longer be able to move except for proven reasons

“Compared with infected people, the number of asymptomatic patients increases, the number of hospitalized people decreases in percentage, but there is a high probability that many regions will exceed the thresholds for intensive care and medical care,” said Prime Minister Conte. “If we introduced single measures throughout Italy we would produce a double negative effect, not taking really effective measures where there is greater risk and we will impose unreasonably restrictive measures where the situation is less serious.” “If we introduced single measures throughout Italy we would produce a double negative effect, not taking really effective measures where there is greater risk and we will impose unreasonably restrictive measures where the situation is less serious.”

“The yellow area, with moderate criticality, includes Abruzzo, Basilicata, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Lazio, Liguria”. Tuscany, Molise, Marche, Sardinia and Friuli Venezia Giulia are also within the yellow area. Even Veneto and the provinces of Trento and Bolzano, as announced by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on television, fall within the yellow area with the “softer” restrictive measures provided for in the Dpcm.

“In the orange zone, with medium-high criticality, are Puglia and Sicilia.” “Lombardy, Piedmont, Calabria, Valle D’Aosta are in the red zone,” Conte announced.
