The week that should lead the government to the mid-month coupon on reopening, with the postponement of the curfew, probably by two hours, from 22 to 24 and then disappear in mid-June and the possible anticipation of the green light for indoor restaurants and gyms, opens with Italy more and more colored in yellow.
No Region in red
No region in the red zone, Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria pass into the range with fewer restrictions. In orange only Sardinia, Sicily and Valle d’Aosta (the latter abandons the red). An Italy mostly in yellow means restaurants and bars with outdoor tables for lunch and dinner; admission allowed in cinemas, theaters and museums albeit with limited capacity, free travel to other yellow regions. In the territories in orange bars, restaurants, cinemas and theaters will still remain closed and it will be possible to move only within the municipality.

Towards a decree with new rules
Some anticipation on the contents of the new decree law, which the government should approve on Friday 14 May, after the usual weekly monitoring by the Ministry of Health on the progress of coronavirus infections, could arrive as early as Wednesday 12, on the occasion of the question time of the Prime Minister Mario Dragons in the House. The Regions ask to review the parameters that determine the color changes, starting from the RT, the virus spread index, as – according to the governors’ thesis – it is unreliable, distorting and must be overcome (for the second week consecutive has risen slightly and nationally is now at 0.89).
Pressing of the League to cancel the curfew. Dragons: reopening with the head
The mid-month coupon of the rules provided for by the decree on reopening will focus, as mentioned above, on the curfew as well as on restaurants and gyms. The strong pressure of the League in the majority and of the center-right regional presidents could lead to a postponement to 24. On the occasion of the press conference that had at the end of the European summit in Porto, Draghi spoke of reopening “but with the head”, because frustrating the sacrifices, reversing the trend of the decline in infections and deaths would be an unforgivable error. The Prime Minister has curbed Matteo Salvini’s offensive, who in the last few hours announced that the League will ask for the curfew to be canceled at the first useful CDM. When asked if it will win, or rather if the curfew will be “whitened”, the prime minister replied: «I want to reopen, I want people to go back out to work, to have fun, to be together. But, as I said last time when we talked about this, you have to do it safely, that is, by calculating well the risk you run ». The data, he stressed, “are quite encouraging”.

The new line – decided in an operational table organized by the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and by the Health Minister Roberto Speranza – is a significant turning point for the world of tourism which hopes to be able to return to attract foreign travelers in the summer.
