With vaccinations proceeding slowly and infections that do not show signs of significantly decreasing, we proceed with the hard line. The premier Mario Draghi it is in fact about to sign the new decree that will define the new rules in force since after Easter.
Meanwhile, however, monitoring has imposed new changes to the colors of the Regions. The Higher Institute of Health has in fact underlined that “the total number of people admitted to intensive care is still increasing with an employment rate at national level above the critical threshold and the trend for the medical areas is similar”.
During the press conference held on Friday 26 March by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza and by the Prime Minister Mario Draghi, there will be three Regions to pass into the red zone and only one to “climb” into the orange zone. Confirmed the absence of yellow areas, for which – beyond the numbers – the restrictions of the orange areas still apply.
The Regions in the red zone from 29 March
From Monday 29 March they pass to the red zone Calabria, Tuscany and Valle d’Aosta, which are added to the other Regions already characterized by the most stringent measures: Lombardy, Piedmont, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Puglia (here we are even talking about the reinforced red zone), Veneto, the Autonomous Province of Trento and Campania.
The Regions in the orange zone
The only Region to go from red to orange is the Lazio, which from Tuesday (and not from Monday as for the other Regions) will be able to loosen the grip of the measures. Here they will be able to reopen schools, shops, beauty centers and hairdressers, according to the provisions in force.
Lazio joins Liguria, Umbria, Abruzzo, Molise, Sardinia, Basilicata, Sicily and the autonomous province of Bolzano.
The rules for Easter the same for everyone
Beyond the ordinances of the individual Regions, the whole of Italy will be the red zone on Easter holidays. Contrary to what is happening now in these areas, however, on 3, 4 and 5 April it will be allowed, once a day, to move to another private home in the same region, between 5 and 22. A maximum of two people can travel who will still be able to bring with them children under the age of 14 (or other children under the age of 14). 14 years over which the same people exercise parental authority) and disabled or non self-sufficient people who live with them.
What does the Dpcm in force since 7 April provide?
The provision that Prime Minister Mario Draghi should sign in the coming days and establish what can be done and what not starting after Easter.
While it is now practically certain that schools up to middle school will also reopen in the red zone, it is not clear whether some activities will be able to reopen. Some ministers and governors hope for a gradual recovery, but the most likely hypothesis is that for at least another month there will be no yellow zone and that even for the next holidays (April 25 and May 1) all of Italy will be armored.
The Higher Institute of Health, in fact, suggests “maintaining rigorous national mitigation measures accompanied by timely mitigation / containment interventions in the most widespread areas. It is essential that the population avoids all occasions of contact with people outside their own home that are not strictly necessary and to stay at home as much as possible “.
