Pfizer vaccine (COVID-19 mRNA BNT162b2v) vaccination will begin on December 27th. A young Roman nurse is the first inoculator.
The vaccine will be shipped from Belgium on the 25th and will arrive in Italy on the 27th. First of all, priority is given to medical professionals and those with chronic diseases. Two doses are required at least 21 days apart and are for 16 years and older.
The number of people infected with coronavirus in Italy on December 24 is 18040, which is not a low number, but it has been gradually decreasing since the end of November, the peak of the second wave.
From today until the end of the Christmas period on January 6th, Italy is locked down, with a peek on the 4th. It's a lonely Christmas, but I hope this will work towards the future convergence of the corona.
have a nice Christmas. Buon Natale
It's in front of the cathedral before noon on August 5.
Even though it is a weekday, it seems that many people are busy in front of Corona. Since it is mandatory to wear a mask when you are indoors, wearing a mask off your arm is the style of this summer when you are outdoors. (The mask seems to burn!)
After a little distance from the center, there are still fewer people.
At last, I feel that Florence has gradually returned to life.
In the center of town, I can hear conversations in languages other than Italian.
In Florence, where the summer days continue, the number of people wearing masks has decreased considerably, but since it is a forbidden thing, I would like to have more surveillance in places with many people.
In Tuscany, including Florence, masks are now obligatory to wear masks indoors and outdoors when you cannot keep yourself close to others. Wearing gloves has been deprecated and it is recommended that you wash your hands thoroughly. According to the statistics, even after the beginning of June, an average of about 3000 tests were carried out every day, and only a few new cases were infected. https://www.ars.toscana… della-regione-toscana-e-confronto-con-italia-con-quanti-sono-i-decessi-per-comune?provenienza=home_ricerca&dettaglio=ric_geo_covid&par_top_geografia=090
The bustle has come back little by little. The restaurant has chairs and tables from the inside of the restaurant, so you can enjoy your meal in good weather. The photo is Cerreto Guidi in the outskirts of Medici. Recently, slow tourism has come to be encouraged by the administrative side. It seems that the shape of tourism will change in the future.
The rules regarding admission have changed. Measurement of body temperature is mandatory (37.5 degrees or more is not allowed), mask wearing is mandatory, whisper (microphone and earphone) is mandatory when the guide guides, and the maximum number of people per group has also been changed.
The number of new infections on June 21 is 240 throughout Italy. As of June 21, 20972 people were infected. The death toll was 34,634. The number of completely cured people is 18,2893. As you can see from this data, the situation has improved considerably.
I took a walk around Florence on June 20th, but it was a weekend and was crowded with many people. However, since most of them are Italian, the shops that have relied on foreign tourists are still in a difficult situation. We all hope that those in Europe, whose travel restrictions have been lifted in June, will return to Florence.
Italy began in May and the bar has been lifted, bars, parks, museums, etc. have been reopened, gradually regaining everyday life. You can now freely do sports such as jogging and cycling. Probably it will be possible to go back and forth between Europe from June 3, and it will be possible to move only when necessary in the Shungen Agreement member countries, but I think that it will be a two-week isolation period. Still, Italy is still a dangerous country level at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, so it will take some more time to come and go. I hope we can see a new phase in July. A mask is required for going out. A germicidal gel is placed at the entrance of the shop, and rubber gloves are sometimes worn. Public transport is working (provided by the shop), but I wear masks and rubber gloves.
The number of tourists in Florence before the Corona was very high, so it's really quiet compared to that. However, at night, many people go out and lively. The museum is gradually starting to reopen. However, there are restrictions on the number of people and the space that can be used for churches, etc. The biggest step now is to have breakfast in the bar. I have a little patience.
After entering Phase 2, shops, restaurants, gardens, museums, etc. are gradually opening. When you enter the store, the number of people who can keep a sufficient distance is decided according to the size of the store. So, it's normal for people to line up outside without being too crowded. Basically it is recommended to wear a mask, gloves if necessary, and hand disinfection. Even if you wear a mask, the basic rule is to stay at least 1m away.
