From 15 March well ten regions return to the red zone as a result of the decree approved by the Council of Ministers on March 12 which integrated some new, more restrictive measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
The provision established the transition to the red zone for those Regions in which there is a cumulative weekly incidence of infections exceeding 250 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, regardless of the other parameters relating to the color of the area (thus making the transition to the red zone in these automatic cases and no longer at the discretion of the Regions). As a result of this rule, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche, Piedmont, Puglia, Veneto and the Autonomous Province of Trento, Campania and Molise have changed color and have become red.
It therefore also returns to these Regions self-certification to be shown in the event of a check to declare that the move complies with one of the criteria for which it is envisaged, i.e .:
- for proven reasons of work, health or necessity: in these cases also to another Region or Autonomous Province;
- the return to their residence, domicile or home, including the return to second homes located inside and outside the Region.
Self-certification, the rules and when to submit it
In the red zone, travel is only allowed for comparative reasons of work, health and necessity. In order to circulate, the appropriate self-certification must be completed, to be presented to the police for any checks.

The justification of the work reason can also be proven by showing, for example, adequate documentation provided by the employer (badges or similar) suitable to demonstrate the declared condition. “The veracity of the self-declarations will be subject to subsequent checks and the ascertained falsity of what has been declared constitutes a crime”.
