For this reason, as of October 23 in Campania, trips between provinces will be prohibited, except for trips related to health, work, proven family, school or related to training activities and social welfare or other reasons of urgent need “in order to contain the risks of contagion related to mobility in the territory”. The ban is aimed at “citizens of Campania”, who will have to prove their needs through self-certification. “In any case, it is allowed – says the ordinance – to return to the residence or habitual residence.

The provision also establishes the “red zone” of Arzano in the province of Naples until October 30) “with immediate effect and until October 30, except for new measures as a result of the evolution of the epidemiological situation.” In the municipality of Arzano, asl Napoli 2 Nord highlighted, there was a 209.4% increase in infections between September 29 and October 20. The order of the extraordinary commission that ordered a “mini-confinement” with the cessation of educational activities and the closure of commercial activities caused demonstrations and protests.

“This situation – reads the ordinance citing a note from the extraordinary commission – has amplified the risk of more infections in an area already seriously affected, in addition to creating serious security and public order problems.” The situation of Arzano, a municipality located in a “neuralgic and nodal center for the viability of a large part of the metropolitan city, for the connection by highway with the great arteries as well as for the interconnection with neighboring municipalities connected without interruption, demands the need to take more drastic measures to avoid moving ‘to and from Arzano’ “.
