Yellow and orange zone: Lazio, Sicily, Liguria and Veneto. Here is who risks

Yellow and orange zone, which are the regions at risk of color change? Lazio, Lombardy, Sicily, Veneto: from next week they could change bands. Right now there are a total of 7 territories in the yellow zone: Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Marche, Liguria, Veneto. The rest of Italy is still white. But the surge in infections, linked to the spread of the Omicron variant, is about to change the color map. The transition from the white to the yellow zone is triggered when three parameters are reached: weekly incidence of new infections per 100 thousand inhabitants equal to or greater than 50 cases, the occupancy rate of hospital beds in ordinary wards at 15% and that in intensive care at 10. %. While as regards the orange zone, it occurs when the incidence exceeds 150 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, the percentage of beds in intensive care is over 20% and the hospitalization rate in the medical area exceeds 30%. “We are not yet a yellow zone in Sicily, and this is thanks to the community, we fear we will be in a few days”, Sicilian governor Nello Musumeci told Omnibus on La 7. “All our attention is destined not only to the protection of health, especially of the most fragile and children – he added – but also to avoid blocking the economic sector which would be a catastrophe in Italy. Today we will adopt the necessary measures”. change of color is also the Veneto. “If the admissions in the non-critical area reach 30%, the Veneto goes into the orange zone”, said Luca Zaia, governor of the Veneto. “The Rt index is 1.13, the intensive care occupation at 17%, that of the medical area at 18%. For now, this last parameter keeps us hooked to yellow, when it reaches 30% we will pass in the area orange. Care must be taken, the unvaccinated are those in the lowest age group, “he said again, rattling off the data. “The yellow zone is a probable scenario” also for Lazio. “With the new year the color in our region will change, it is a credible fact. We need to run fast on the third dose, 5 hubs will work at night until midnight. The goal is to reach two million third doses by the end of the year. “, said the councilor for health of the Lazio Region, Alessio D’Amato. White, yellow, orange zone: rules With the new measures imposed by the government and valid until January 31, 2022, there are few differences between the white and yellow zones. Until now, one of the main differences between these two areas was the obligation to wear the mask even outdoors. However, with the latest government decree it was decided to extend this measure. The use of the mask has been ‘reinforced’ throughout Italy since to access public transport, trains, airplanes, cinemas, theaters it is necessary to wear the Ffp2. And this until the end of the state of emergency, which is currently set for March 31. Until the end of the state of emergency, the Christmas decree also provides for the extension of the obligation of a reinforced Green Pass – for vaccinated or recovered people – to catering also for consumption over the counter in bars and restaurants. Extension of the obligation of a reinforced Green Pass indoors for swimming pools, gyms and team sports, but also for museums and exhibitions. Super Green Pass indoors for wellness centers, spas (except for essential levels of assistance and rehabilitation or therapeutic activities), theme and amusement parks, for cultural centers, social and recreational centers (excluding educational centers for children ) indoors and for gaming rooms, betting rooms, bingo halls and casinos. It has been established that until January 31, 2022, events, parties and concerts, whatever their name, which involve gatherings in open spaces, are prohibited; dance halls, discos and similar venues will be closed, where events, concerts or parties, however called, are held, open to the public. you can move both to other municipalities in the same region and to other regions only for work, needs, health or for services that are not suspended but not available in your municipality. On the other hand, it is ok to move from municipalities with a maximum of 5,000 inhabitants, to other municipalities within 30 km, except for the provincial capital. The situation changes also with regard to ski resorts: the reinforced Green pass becomes necessary. Bars and restaurants are open only for those who have the Super green pass, not for those who have the basic certificate thanks to a swab.
