. AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy Italy has toughened up coronavirus restrictions as infections rise around the country, including in most areas with U.S. military communities, as the more contagious British variant of the virus spreads rapidly. Starting Monday, 10 regions and two autonomous provinces have been designated as red zones, the highest level of health alert, the government said. The rest are designated orange, with only the island of Sardinia remaining a low-risk white zone. In a sign of the worsening situation, Aviano Elementary School, which has had students learning in classrooms since the school year began Aug. 24, will be going remote, Principal Andrew Gann said in an email to parents Sunday. Many students were sent home with extra materials on Friday in preparation for the change. Middle and high school students on Aviano Air Base had already been learning remotely.
