(see related stories on COVID restrictions) Premier Mario Draghi said Friday that the maximum level of caution was needed after his government tightened COVID-19-linked restrictions due to a sharp increase in contagion in Italy.
    "Unfortunately, one year after the start of the emergency, there is a new wave of contagion," Draghi said as he visited a COVID-19 vaccination centre at Fiumicino. airport near Rome.
    "In the last week there have been more than 150,000 infections, compared to 131,000 the previous week, an increase of almost 5,000 people in hospital and 600 in intensive care.
    "These figure mean we must adopt the utmost caution to limit the number of deaths and stop health facilities being saturated".
    Most of Italy is set to be classed as a COViD red zone next week, meaning non-essential shops must close, bars and restaurants will only be able to provide takeaway services and pupils will have lessons via distance learning in these areas.
    "A few days ago I thanked the Italian people for their infinite patience," Draghi said.
    "I am aware that today's measures will have consequences for our children's education, for the economy and the psychological state of all of us.
    "They are necessary to avoid a deterioration of the situation that would make even more stringent measures inevitable.
    "But these measures are being accompanied by the government's support of families and firms and the acceleration of the vaccination campaign, which on its own gives us hope of emerging from the pandemic".
