The west of Liguria and in particular Ventimiglia, Sanremo and the neighboring municipalities, from Wednesday 24 February to Friday 5 March will have stronger restrictions even if they will not be a red zone.
The Ligurian governor Giovanni Toti said this during the daily briefing on the progress of the pandemic.
The decision was made "to prevent the border area from ferrying the wave of the virus from France to Italy".
The ad hoc ordinance will be signed tomorrow morning.
From midnight today and until 24.00 on Saturday 27 February 20 municipalities in the province of Ancona pass through the orange zone, including the regional capital, where the highest rate of infections from Covid-19 and the presence of some variant cases have been recorded English.
This is foreseen by an order announced yesterday and signed today by the president of the Marche Region Francesco Acquaroli, having heard the prefect of the Ministry of Health, and the agreement with Anci Marche has been reached. The other municipalities remain in the yellow zone, with travel restrictions. An ordinance is already in force which restricts travel to and from the province of Ancona.
