However, the southern region of Sicily and the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy remain a “red zone” with increased risk, forcing residents not to leave their homes except to go to work or vacation. health reasons. Only the basic goods stores remain open in this area.
In five regions least affected by the epidemic in the country, such as Tuscany, museums reopened within a week.
