Walter Ricciardi, an expert advisor to Health Minister Roberto Speranza, said Friday that he has proposed locally targetted measures to combat the upswing in COVID-19 contagion.
He said these measures would come into force in high-contagion regions with an R number over 1.
This would see sites of aggregation, such as clubs, gyms and non-essential shops, closing.
Ricciardi also said that, where possible, smart working should be the norm throughout the country.
