(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 10 - All of Italy is a moderate-risk
yellow zone, except for Sicily, Sardinia and Valle D'Aosta, as
of Monday after the government revised the way regions are
classed in Italy's tiered system of COVID-19 restrictions on the
basis of improved contagion data.
Furthermore, Italy no longer has any high-risk red zones, where
movements are limited and all non-essential shops must close,
after Valle D'Aosta was bumped down to orange, joining Sicily
and Sardinia in this tier.
In yellow zones, the coronavirus restrictions are far less
stringent.
All shops can open, for example, and bars and restaurants can
serve people at outdoor tables.
In orange zones non-essential shops can do business but bars and
restaurants can only do take-aways and home deliveries and
cinemas and theatres have to stay shut.
The health ministry said Sunday that Italy had registered 139
COVID-19-linked deaths in the previous 24 hours, the lowest
daily figure since October 25. (ANSA).
