The ordinance of the Ministry of Health that brings the regions of Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Marche to the orange zone and Campania and Tuscany in the red zone comes into force today, November 15. The order signed by Speranza, which can be found on the ministry’s website, will be valid for 15 days and will therefore lose its effect on November 29: it states that Campania and Tuscany will be added to the list of red areas that Calabria already sees today Lombardy, Piedmont, the Province of Bolzano and Valle d’Aosta. Emilia-Romagna, Friuli and Marche will turn orange, reaching Abruzzo, Basilicata, Liguria, Puglia, Sicily and Umbria. On the other hand, Lazio, Molise, Sardinia, Trento and Veneto are still ‘yellow’.
The ordinance of the Ministry of Health and the new red and orange zones
What changes when you enter the red zone, as happened today in Campania and Tuscany? The movements are prohibited, bars and restaurants and shops in general are closed, except supermarkets, pharmacies, tobacconists, hairdressers, while schools are present only up to sixth grade, in addition to the closures valid for the entire country, those of cinemas, theaters , gyms. The orange area, the area of medium-high risk, on the other hand provides for the prohibition of travel between one region and one municipality and another, with 9 regions.
With the passage from the yellow zone to the orange one, the travel rules change: for example, it is forbidden to move to another Municipality if it does not have a valid reason (work, health or need) and it is forbidden “any movement in and out of the territories except for motivated trips “. Therefore, to leave your municipality or region, you will need to obtain self-certification, as long as you have a good reason. On the other hand, the movements strictly necessary to ensure the realization of face-to-face teaching are allowed, as well as “the return home, home or residence is allowed.” There is no problem even to move within your municipality from 5 to 22: it will be possible to do it without having to fill out the self-certification.
In the orange regions, service is prohibited in bars, pubs, restaurants, ice cream parlors, patisseries, with the exception of dining rooms and catering. However, the home delivery service is allowed until 10 p.m., catering with take-out food, with prohibition of consumption in the place or in the surroundings. In the orange zones, a family member or friend who is not self-sufficient is allowed to attend without a time limit. Just as it is allowed to go out to “reunite minors with the other parent or in any case in the foster home, or take them with you, it is also allowed between municipalities in different areas. Said movements – read the Faq – must in any case take place choosing the shortest route and complying with all health requirements ”. Even if it is “strongly discouraged” you are also allowed to travel to accompany your children to their grandparents.
