COVID restrictions eased as most of Italy turns yellow
Concern about people getting together and spreading the virus
01 Febbraio 2021
ROME, FEB 1 - COVID-19 restrictions came down in
many parts of Italy on Monday, with most of the country now a
yellow zone, meaning the risk of contagion is considered
moderate.
This week none of Italy's regions are high-risk red zones and
only four, Sicily, Sardinia, Puglia and Umbria, are
medium-high-risk orange zones, along with the autonomous
province of Bolzano.
The rest of the country is a yellow zone, meaning all shops can
do business and bars and restaurants can serve people until 6pm.
