Covid, 4 other municipalities in Sicily in the “red zone”

PALERMO – The President of the Region, Nello Musumeci, has signed the order establishing four new “red zones” in Sicily. These are the municipalities of Ribera (Agrigento), Serradifalco (Caltanissetta), Trabia, in the Palermo area and Weather in Santa Maria di Licodia, in the province of Catania. The ordinance will come into force on Thursday 25 March and will be valid until 6 April inclusive. The provision, which also provides for the closure of schools, was requested by the mayors of the four cities and was necessary due to a sudden increase in infections recorded in recent days, certified by the respective Asps, says the Sicilian Region.

These municipalities are added to Caltanissetta, Palma di Montechiaro (Ag), Caltavuturo, in the province of Palermo, and Scicli, in the province of Ragusa, which were declared a red zone until 30 March. Until 27 March the municipalities of Altavilla Milicia and San Mauro Castelverde, in the Palermo area, are also the red zone; Montedoro, in the province of Caltanissetta; Portopaolo di Capo Passero, in the Syracusano area; Raffadali in the province of Agrigento.
