The government negotiates with the Regions on the rules of the new Dpcm. Starting from the date of the stop to travel for non-residents. The opening hours of restaurants and clubs and the national curfew are also in doubt. Salvini asks ‘not to sow terror ahead of time’ on the rules for the holidays. The principals exclude the return to school in presence in December.
Piedmont passes from the red to the orange zone e the streets of Turin are crowded, with real gatherings. It was enough for the shops to raise their shutters to see the streets of the city center full of people and long queues on the sidewalks, without respecting the distance. In via Lagrange many customers even in front of the bars for takeaway drinks as was not the case in recent weeks. “For us it is pure oxygen” say the managers of a clothing store in a side street of the very central Via Roma. Many merchants have reopened with discounts and promotions thus extending the ‘Black Friday’ and attracting customers. “I also take advantage of the discounts for Christmas purchases, you never know they will close everything” explains a lady in line to enter ‘Kasanova’. “This morning there were people already out before the opening and in the first half hour we beat many receipts and filled up envelopes”, confirm from ‘Zara’ in via Roma.
Milan and Lombardy are now in the orange zone and there are many Milanese who on the first day of the reopening of the shops crowded the shopping streets to take advantage of the latest Black Friday offers and to start making some Christmas gifts. It hasn’t happened for weeks that we have seen Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the pedestrian artery that runs alongside the Duomo and where the Rinascente is also located, full of people walking around with bags and bags.
Calabria also leaves the red zone of maximum anti-Covid restrictions. On the other hand, Liguria and Sicily pass from orange to yellow, again as a result of the order of the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, given the weekly monitoring data analyzed by the control room.
In short, Italy changes a new color and with it the degree of limitations of citizens and economic activities in the various territories. Valle d’Aosta, the autonomous province of Bolzano, Tuscany, Abruzzo and Campania remain red; orange Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Marche, Umbria, Basilicata and Puglia; yellow Veneto, Autonomous Province of Trento, Lazio, Molise and Sardinia.
The decisions are the effect of a virus transmissibility index (Rt) just above the safety threshold of 1, but with average values between 1 and 1.25 in most Regions and Autonomous Provinces (in the week 4-17 November, calculated on symptomatic cases).
