The news about the establishment of a red zone in the Ponticelli district in Naples is completely false!

In the last few hours, one is shooting hoax that concerns an alleged institution of the red zone in the Ponticelli district in Naples, due to an outbreak due to Coronavirus.

As said, however, it is one unfounded news because in the eastern district of Naples no red zone has been established in order to limit the infection. The information on hypothetical outbreaks that arose following the death of some citizens is not true because at the moment there are no decrees or ordinances instituted in this sense.

Obviously in Ponticelli, as well as in all other areas of Naples and Italy, the restrictions provided for by the decrees already in force apply and which impose quarantine and isolation and the possibility of going out only in cases of necessity.

The fake messages on the red zone

Unfortunately, however, the false news is circulating a lot on social networks and in WhatsApp messages especially following the death of a well-known man in Ponticelli, who tested positive at Covid-19 and died without having any particular previous illnesses and without having entered intensive care.

The false information circulating is in a audio where you listen to a man who claims to have heard by the ASL and the Region on the intention to create a red zone in the neighborhood, “like Codogno”.

The deceased man's family also had to suffer the insults of the people who accuses them of being the "greasers" of the area and who claims that he has organized a celebratory meeting for Father's Day. He accuses her daughter denies.
