Five regions Basilicata, Calabria, Apulia, Sicily, Aosta Valley are orange and only Sardinia is red. The country has no white regions.
According to the decree, 15 "yellow" regions will open restaurants, pizzerias and bars for outdoor service. Movie theaters, museums, theaters, exhibition halls will work under certain restrictions, including social distance and masks. The free movement between all "yellow" regions will be resumed.
