Most of the Italian regions, including Rome and Milan, are classified by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, as “red” zones. Residents of the regions are urged to stay home, unless they have to work or have to leave home for health or emergency reasons.
Starting Monday, the rules will also be tightened in the “yellow” areas of the country, where the spread of the infection is currently less. Movement between cities is severely restricted and restaurants and bars are closed. Sardinia is the only region that avoids restrictions, as the spread of the infection on the island is limited.
– More than a year after the outbreak, we are sadly facing a new wave of infection. With last spring fresh in our minds, we want to do everything possible to prevent it from happening again, Mario Draghi told AFP during a visit to a vaccination center.
The spread of the infection has increased significantly in Italy of late, with an increase in hospitalizations as a result. On Thursday, the country registered almost 26,000 new cases of covid-19 and 373 deaths. Since the pandemic linked control over Italy, more than 100,000 people have died from COVID-19.
From April 3 to 5, the country enters a total blockade, with a curfew after 10 p.m. “Non-essential” stores must be closed for the same period. It is not yet clear what it will be like with church visits during Easter, but at Christmas people were allowed to visit their nearest church with strict distance restrictions.
