This is how the prohibitions change with the new ordinances

Based on data from the control room, Health Minister Roberto Hope signed an ordinance that moves 5 regions to the yellow area. A second ordinance moves 3 regions and the province of Bolzano to the orange area. Finally, a third ordinance will renew the measures for 5 regions whose restrictive terms were expiring. The measures signed this afternoon will be published tomorrow in the Official Gazette and will come into force as of Sunday, December 6.

In fact, the control room has given its consent to the passage from red to orange zone for the Aosta Valley, Campania, Tuscany, South Tyrol. Pass orange to yellow Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Marche, Puglia and Umbria. The restrictive measures in force for Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Lombardy and Piedmont are renewed.

In general, therefore, the breakdown of Autonomous Regions and Provinces in the yellow, orange and red areas it is currently the following:

• zone yellow: Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Marche, Molise, Autonomous Province of Trento, Puglia, Sardinia, Sicily, Umbria, Veneto
• zone orange: Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Lombardy, Piedmont, Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Tuscany, Aosta Valley
• zone rossa: Abruzzo

In summary, as of Sunday only Abruzzo will remain in the red zone (of which it respects the limits of November 18) while 12 regions will be yellow and 8 orange. Among the disappointed also Basilicata, orange since last November 11: “We deserve the yellow zone”, argues the president of the Region, Vito Bardi,

But when will the next “color changes” be? In the new Dpcm there is an important novelty that allows an evaluation by the technical scientific committee that can reduce the time spent in an area, which was previously 15 days. The next data evaluation meeting is scheduled for next Thursday and -if the parameters are positive- from mid-December the rest of the regions will also be able to approach the Christmas week with greater freedom and without the need for self-certification to move as now. occurs in orange and red.

Okay then? Not really: today, in the usual follow-up report, the Higher Institute of Health invited the authorities to evaluate new measures at the provincial or regional level for the three regions that were still at “high” risk: Calabria, Puglia and Sardinia. In fact, it was observed that the epidemic in Italy “although in decline” keeps the pressure on hospitals high. As of December 1, 18 autonomous regions and provinces had exceeded at least a critical threshold in the medical area or in intensive care and the employment rate in the critical area still exceeds the critical employment threshold at the national level.
