Obligation of outdoor masks throughout Italy and at any time of the day, new anti-collection rules, reduced places in public places and stadiums, limited entrances to shops. These are the rules that the Government is about to implement in the new Dpcm, the decree that the president of the Council of Ministers Giuseppe Conte will sign on Wednesday and will replace the Dpcm currently in force, which expires on October 7, according to laleggepertutti. .Item.

The alarm over the resumption of infections registered in recent days, with the reopening of schools and work activities after the summer break, will unleash a squeeze in containment measures, as is also apparent from Prime Minister Conte’s decision to request Parliament the extension of the state of emergency until the end of January 2021.

Here are the rules that, as soon as the new Dpcm is signed and comes into force, now in preparation, will regulate the life of Italians as of October 8. First, there will be no easing compared to the current measures, but not even a new national blockade, which seems to be excluded. The Regions, however, may adopt closures and restrictive measures to travel within their territories to stop the outbreaks.

It is almost certain that you will have to wear the mandatory mask throughout the national territory even outdoors: the Undersecretary of Health, Sandra Zampa, and some Regions (such as Lazio, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily have already introduced it in recent years) days); Children under 6 years of age and those with pathologies or disabilities incompatible with the use of the protection device should be exempt.

A “curfew” will likely be introduced in the afternoon and evening with a mandatory closure (supposed to start at 11.00 pm) to curb the nightlife in the clubs; A limitation on the number of people who can enter public entertainment venues, bars and restaurants is also being studied, following the example of Campania, which with a recent ordinance has prohibited groups of more than 6 friends or family members (or 20 guests for wedding).

But the number of seats in cinemas and theaters and in reception rooms for events and even private parties will also be reduced: the maximum limit of 200 spectators for indoor facilities and no more than 1,000 for outdoor facilities, as is the case, is maintained. now for the public in stadiums.

In local public transport, the capacity of buses and trains cannot exceed 80% of the number of seats. The fines for offenders could amount to a minimum of 500 euros compared to the current 400 euros, while the maximum will reach 3,000 euros; without prejudice to the suspension of the activity for exercises that do not respect the rules on public capacity, gatherings and minimum distances.
