There is reason to be happy in Italy: A first region managed to become a “white zone” in the corona pandemic.

Now there should be easing.

Although the number of corona cases in Italy has risen again in the last few days, there is now a success to report.

Since March 1st, Sardinia is the first area to be listed by the government as a

“white zone”

.

This is the lowest of the corona warning levels that exist in Italy * - with red being the other end of the spectrum.

A prerequisite for classification as a “white zone” is that the two-week incidence

value

must be

below 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants

for three weeks

.

Thanks to the low number of reproductions, numerous loosening operations can now be carried out on the island.

Low Corona Incidence: Sardinia is making a lot of easing

The restaurants on the island can now stay open until 11 p.m. instead of 6 p.m., while bars can stay open until 9 p.m.

While in the rest of Italy there is a curfew from 10 p.m., you can hang around in Sardinia until 11.30 p.m. - the curfew applies until 5 a.m.

In addition, fitness studios, swimming pools and dance schools should be allowed to open again from March 8, while visitors are again allowed in shopping centers on weekends.

Theaters and cinemas are also expected to open their doors.

All school children in Sardinia are returning to their classes.

Shortly afterwards, "the return to the long-awaited new normal" should take place, as Christian Solinas, President of the island,

said

according to the

FAZ

.

Furthermore, he demands a special supply of vaccines from the government so that the Sardinians can all be vaccinated within 45 days, as the portal

derstandard.de

reports.

In this way, the island wants to

consolidate

its

status as an almost Covid-19-free island

.

"Tourists are welcome, but they have to be tested negative," says Solinas.

In order to prevent tourists from the mainland from increasing the number of corona cases again, controls at ports and airports are to be tightened.

Traveling between different regions is still prohibited in Italy until March 27, so that at least there will be no influx of domestic tourists.
