\n<\/strong>Four more Italian regions, namely Abruzzo, Liguria, Umbria and Veneto, are from
\ntoday in the white zone, with an incidence rate under 50 cases per 100,000
\ninhabitants. According to Radio Romania’s correspondent in Rome, travel
\nrestrictions in the rest of the country, which is still in the yellow zone,

\ndestination, said Spanish health minister Carolina Dias on social media, adding
\nthat her country is in the process of reclaiming its global leadership in
\ntourism. <\/p>\n
