Health Minister Roberto Speranza signed on Friday a new ordinance with which Calabria, Lombardy, Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta are confirmed as “red areas”, those at greatest risk of contagion and in which the most restrictive measures are envisaged, and Puglia and Sicily as “orange areas”. The new ordinance has immediate validity, will be in force until 3 December and was necessary because today it expired that of November 5th which had established the red and orange areas.
