Until December 3, those who live in Piedmont, Lombardy, Calabria, and Aosta Valley can say goodbye to their boat. The “anti-Covid” decree that goes into effect on Friday, Nov. 6, prohibits any movement, even within the same territory, except for business reasons. These regions are “red zone,” characterized by a high infection rate.
To give an example: a Milanese who has a boat on the lake cannot go on board, for any reason.
If you are not on the sea you are penalized
It is not so much better for the regions defined by the decree as “orange zone” (Apulia, Sicily) where it is forbidden to move to a municipality other than that of residence, domicile or home. Therefore, the Palermo man who has his boat “under the house” can reach his boat. Those who live in Enna, which is landlocked, for example, cannot reach the coast.
The trap of regions without sea or lakes
Green light for those who have boat and residence in the same region, on the other hand, for the “yellow zones” established by the decree that have outlet to the sea: these are Liguria, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Friuli, Tuscany, Lazio, Basilicata, Molise, Abruzzo, Marche, Sardinia, Sicily, and Veneto.
On the other hand, can those who live in regions that are “yellow zone” but are landlocked reach their boat? It depends. Those who have boats with residency in Trentino, which borders red and orange zones (Lombardy and Veneto) cannot reach their boats until Dec. 3. Those who live in Umbria but have boats in Lazio, Tuscany or Marche (yellow zones) can get there.
