[ad_1]

Italy has officially entered a new phase of the pandemic with the introduction of new coronavirus containment measures that, in effect, tighten the rules and further limit personal freedom. Italy is divided by the Dpcm into three zones: red, orange and yellow (and green), each with different levels of restrictions depending on the seriousness of the epidemiological situation. Now the country is wondering what can and cannot be done in the different areas, which are the prohibited activities and which, on the other hand, are allowed in each of the three macro areas, which will be active as of next June 6. of November.

Red areas, what you can and cannot do

Lombardy, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta and Calabria are the three regions of the country that, according to ISS surveys, currently present the highest degree of risk. His is the level of maximum severity and the Dpcm imposes the most severe restrictions and effectively brings the regions into emergency shutdown, although with somewhat less harsh terms than in March. In these four regions, travel is prohibited, both between municipalities and to and from other regions. Therefore, it will be possible to leave home only for proven needs: health, work and basic needs (shopping, search for essential goods). You can do physical activity near your home and all activities carried out within the sports facilities, even outdoors, are prohibited. Also this time, self-certification was provided. All retail stores must be closed 24 hours a day. Only pharmacies, supermarkets, small groceries, kiosks and other stores included in the annexes of the Dpcm are excluded from the provision. The same treatment was reserved for bars, restaurants, ice cream parlors and patisseries, which may only operate through take out (until 10 p.m.) and without a time limit for all delivery activities. School activities in attendance will be allowed only for kindergarten, elementary and middle schools, but only until the first class. All other classes and universities will have to revert to distance education.

Orange zones, what can and cannot be done

Apulia and Sicily with the Dpcm have placed themselves in the orange zone, that is, they are very attentive and at risk of turning red in case of worsening of the epidemiological situation. They are in one intermediate situation between maximum risk and moderate risk. For these two regions, and for those that, possibly in the coming days, worsen their situation and go from yellow to orange, there are very similar restrictions to the red zones, with some exceptions. Entry / exit from the regions is not allowed, but travel within the territory is allowed to allow face-to-face teaching, without prejudice to the return home. Travel between municipalities is not allowed, except for proven needs or to use services not affected by the closing decree. They cannot open bars, restaurants, ice cream parlors and patisseries, they can only perform delivery and take away services. For circulation within regional borders, self-certification is not necessary, it is necessary to travel to a red region, but only for non-postponable reasons.

Green areas, what can and cannot be done

The rest of the country is in the yellow zone, which means it is not in imminent danger. In these regions with a new Dpcm almost all activities are allowed until 10 pm, when a “block an end“until 5 am the next day. Museums and exhibitions will be closed, as well as gambling and gaming points in bars and tobacconists, which can remain open until curfew. Schools continue for all classes until high school but with Shopping centers must be closed on public holidays and days before public holidays, with the exception of pharmacies, grocery stores, newsagents and tobacconists.To circulate after 10 pm, self-certification is required.
