White zone, the rules from Monday 14 June

In the white zone from Monday 14 June over 40 million Italians. With the change of color for Lombardy, Lazio, Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, Puglia and the autonomous province of Trento, there are thirteen regions in the lowest risk range where the curfew is abolished, while the prohibition of gathering and the obligation remain mask, both outdoors and indoors. And with the RT stable at 0.68 and the national average value of the incidence of Covid cases falling further, reaching 26 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, at the end of the month all regions could pass into the white zone. HOPE “Italy currently has one of the best European data on incidence. It is an encouraging result that allows us to look forward with more confidence. We must insist on this path with caution and graduality. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to preserve our correct habits so as not to frustrate the many sacrifices made “, said the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, on the sidelines of a meeting at the Ministry on the subject of strengthening local health. RULES FOR THE WHITE ZONE If in the yellow zone there is still a curfew from 24 to 5, for those in the white zone the curfew is abolished immediately. This means that it is no longer necessary to return home within a certain time: in short, you can move without time limits. In this area the bars, restaurants and other catering activities are open and it is possible to consume food and drinks inside them, without time limits. The sale with take-away of food and drinks and home delivery are also allowed without restrictions, which must in any case take place in compliance with the regulations on packaging and delivery of products. The new rules provide that in the white outdoor area there are no limits of people at the tables (between which there must still be a distance of one meter), while in bars and restaurants indoors a maximum of six people can sit at the same table except that they are all living together. DEPARTURES FOR 3,9 MILLION ITALIANS “From Monday 40.9 million people will be in the white zone, equal to 69% of the national population. Together with the resumption of all activities, even those in the yellow zone were subject to limitations or closures , particularly relevant is the early end in these regions of the curfew that will be overcome throughout the country on June 21. With the arrival of summer and the resumption of tourism, this is a measure that allows many catering establishments the possibility of the double shift with an important increase in hospitality and receipts, after a particularly difficult year due to the pandemic “, underlines Coldiretti, for which 3.9 million Italians have chosen to go on holiday in June this year , driven by the reduction of infections and the relaxation of containment measures but also by the arrival of heat and the closure of schools. “The departures of the month are in sharp increase compared to last year (+ 25%) but – underlines the association el week end that traditionally marks the beginning of the holidays for the citizens of the beautiful country – they remain much lower than those before the pandemic. Above all, there is a lack of foreigners waiting for the green pass to arrive from 1 July to encourage the arrival in Italy of at least the 28 million European citizens who, before the Covid health emergency, were on holiday in the Belpaese during the summer months “.
