The soft lockdown starts until March 5th

With the new Dpcm, the soft lockdown with 2 red and 12 orange regions which are Lombardy and Sicily. The first epicenter of the pandemic in the first wave and the second new scenario of the spread of the virus. In the red zone also the autonomous Province of Bolzano, Alto Adige, which in turn is not there and heralds a battle. Five regions remain in the yellow band: Campania, Sardinia, Basilicata, Tuscany and Molise, as well as the Autonomous Province of Trento.

All the others will be orange, for a country that will largely maintain the restrictions of the Christmas period in the face of an ever-very threatening circulation of virus. Meanwhile, they have been recorded in the last 24 hours 12.415 new positive cases in the face of 211.078 swabs carried out. In intensive care they still remain 2503 positive subjects, while in home isolation there are still 528.114 people affected by Covid-19. The new deaths are 377; from the outbreak of the pandemic to today, the people who have died because of the Coronavirus are 82.177.

Soft lockdown

So, from today until March 5: swimming pools and gyms closed, self-certification for travel, curfew from 22pm to 5am, takeaway from bars only until 18pm. In the yellow areas, on the other hand, on weekdays the museums will reopen with limited access. Cit is also allowed to go to second homes. Palazzo Chigi has clarified that according to the new Prime Minister's Decree (Dpcm) they will also be reachable outside their own region.

Dreaming of the white zone

The ban on moving between regions will last until February 15, while the white zone remains a mirage at the moment with all activities finally open. The white area is, at the moment, a new chromatic invention for which we will have to wait for a drastic drop in contagion curve.
