Self-certification for curfew in Lombardy

In Lombardy, together with the curfew from 23:00 to 05:00, self-certification will also return from Thursday. Once the ordinance is signed, those who will be removed from their home during the non-permitted hours must self-certify work reasons or proven urgency to justify leaving, just like during the confinement.

The great return of self-certification for curfew in Lombardy

the Corriere della Sera explains today that the Ministry of the Interior will provide the indications with a circular to the prefects in compliance with the Decree of the Prime Minister of October 18, Giuseppe Conte. The self-certification will be very similar to the one used from March to May and it will be necessary to indicate:

• your name and last name
• your contact details
• the reason you leave home after 11pm

In the case of work reasons, the place of work should be indicated to allow a possible subsequent verification to the police. For reasons of urgency it will be necessary to specify the destination and duration of the departure. These claims will also be subject to subsequent verification by the police or the army. On September 25, it was Aidomaggiore, from the province of Oristano, who dusted off the self-certification after the very high percentage of infected found: in the town all commercial activities in the area were also closed except food and tobacco.

For Roberto Burioni, the curfew from 23:00 to 05:00 in Lombardy is very little

The curfew ordinance in Lombardy

Fabrizio Pregliasco, virologist at the University of Milan, during the Cusano Italia TV program ‘The entrepreneur and the rest’ explained that the curfew in Lombardy “is necessary because the situation is explosive. We discussed it in the Scientific Technical Committee. Of the Lombardy Region last Friday and we had already pointed out this need to President Attilio Fontana, in consideration of the situation that is explosive in the region. ”Intensive therapies“ are still quite empty – Pregliasco continues – but given this exponential growth we must take forceful initiatives, a turning point with respect to a dpcm that took into account the necessary mediations.The curfew from 23 to 5 and the closure of the centers Shopping Saturdays and Sundays are necessary restrictions, to prevent it from happening in the future something worse, although these initiatives create problems for some types of activities. ”Then he added that the request for a curfew from 11 at night to 5 in the morning made by the Lombardy Region to the government “I think it is not quite enough for Milan.”

Regarding the choices made in the last dpcm, “there is no scientific solution that allows a balance and therefore the choices are not easy – underlines the virologist – I believe that the last dpcm are a compromise between health and economic needs. Maximum 6 people for lunch and dinner is something that does not have an objective scientific character, it is a general indication because the more you are, the more contacts there are and the more risks increase ”. Finally, according to Pregliasco, the sale of vaccines can be authorized before the end of the year. “However, beyond a few batches that are already in production, vaccination coverage will be huge and will take time. I think vaccination for everyone will not be there before fall 2021,” he says. Among other things, it is not yet known how many doses will be needed, how often withdrawals will take place, and how long immunity will last in those who have had the virus. “There are 22 confirmed cases of reinfection – concludes Pregliasco – In these aspects we are still groping quite a bit in the dark. It is possible, considering the characteristics of this virus, that we need to make withdrawals, we do not know if every year as happens with the flu. In detail, the Fontana grip provides:

• As of Thursday, with the entry into force of the new ordinance, all activities in Lombardy will have to stop at 11 pm An early closure compared to the 24 established in Italy that affects nightlife. After 6 pm the service is left alone at the tables;
• All movements will be prohibited from 11pm to 5am, again from Thursday, except in exceptional cases: therefore, you can only leave home for reasons of health, work or demonstrated need. Understand how to certify departure;
• on Saturdays and Sundays medium and large retailers will have to stop in all Lombardy, except in the stores of the shopping centers that sell food or essential items such as pharmacies;

But Lombardy could be an option that will gradually affect other parts of Italy. Conte made it clear yesterday: “The curve is objectively worrying. We are preparing to avoid a generalized blockade, but we cannot exclude that if the measures do not give effect we will be forced to calibrate them more effectively and reach limited blockages.”

Because curfew in Lombardy is just the beginning
