Nothing has been decided yet, in black and white. Especially since the summit between Giuseppe Conte and the majority heads of delegation scheduled for last night has been postponed until today. But time is running out: The new Dpcm of December 4 must be written. and until then it will be a rosary of encounters. The government has already focused on the imperative now that infections are down significantly: “Avoid the third wave.” That is why, as one minister says, “it is forbidden to make a mistake at Christmas, to make an encore on August 15 and to find intensive care and medical areas again in collapse in January. With a new trail of the dead. Therefore, the orientation that is emerging – and that will be reiterated in today’s meeting between Conte, Roberto Speranza (Health, Leu), Dario Franceschini (Culture, Pd), Alfonso Bonafede (Justice, M5S), Teresa Bellanova (Agriculture, Iv) – is that of an «armored Christmas».
The rules will also be detailed based on tomorrow’s weekly report that will confirm the slowdown in the epidemic (Rt probably below 1). However, it is already certain that the new Dpcm (which will be illustrated, along with the vaccine plan, by Speranza in the Senate next Wednesday) will contain “ad hoc measures for Christmas to guarantee maximum caution.”

The turn of the Screw
This means that a nationwide crackdown will be introduced for the period January 23-10, when all Regions will be in the yellow band (thus, with regional restrictions mitigated). This is based on the assumption that to avoid “a new outbreak of infections”, it is necessary to prohibit “the typical sociality of Christmas, consisting of dinners, bingo, parties between several families”, since “80% of infections They happen in the family and we have to protect the most fragile people, the elderly. ”Today’s summit will establish what rules to translate these“ precautions. ”Speranza, supported by Franceschini with the blessing of Conte, has proposed in the last hours Limit family encounters to the “closest loved ones.” That is: only partners, or if epidemic data allow it, parents and children, brothers and sisters. With a recommendation (not a ban): no more than 6-10 people (not counting children) sitting at the same table. “You cannot enter people’s houses, hopefully there is common sense,” Conte has been saying for some time.

The curfew issue
To achieve this, the curfew is extended from December 23 to January 10. No more from 10pm, but from 9pm to avoid long dinners and New Year’s parties. And they are discussing an exception for the Vigil Mass, but Speranza has already spoken out against it. We’ll see, the game is not over.
Another move in all probability will be the closing of regional borders (there are those who press for municipal ones) to avoid “Christmas migrations” from north to south, considered by technicians as “extremely dangerous for the spread of the virus.” And to avoid the reunification of several families. With one likely exception: it may be possible to reach elderly parents who live alone. “But with the utmost caution.” Translation: only one child (“not all, otherwise you will go back to dinner”) can get the exemption. “However, it will be very difficult to supervise, we will have to depend on a sense of responsibility,” says the Undersecretary of Health, Sandra Zampa.

Diplomacy and measures
Conte, along the lines of Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron and the Spanish Pedro Sánchez meeting yesterday in Palma de Mallorca, meanwhile continues the diplomatic offensive to achieve the closure of the ski lifts also in Austria and a “European coordination of vaccines and measures for Christmas” (“The recommendations can come from Brussels, not the rules,” says a diplomatic source.) And together with the three European leaders it is working on a common document.
The Italian prime minister, however, has already made it known that he is determined to avoid “cross-border transfers”. And, therefore, impose “health controls on the return to Italy.” The government speaks of “two weeks of mandatory quarantine.” A measure that, in the Government’s opinion, will also serve as a “deterrent to avoid holidays and cross-border ski trips.”
From today’s summit, the plan, anticipated in recent days by Conte and Speranza, of expanding the shopping shirts will also be confirmed. As of December 4, the shops (in the yellow zone) will be able to remain open until 10:00 p.m., to reduce the risk of the classic Christmas crowds. It is also recommended to dedicate the first two hours of opening to the elderly, in order to reduce the risk of contagion. Subsequently, the quota at the entrances to the enclosure and the absolute prohibition of concentrations in the streets and commercial squares was confirmed. Then the closing of bars and restaurants will be repeated at 6 in the afternoon: “The soft drinks are ready, it is useless to increase the risks,” says a source following the dossier. And perhaps the cessation of fireworks will be introduced, accompanied by the strict prohibition of parties in squares and private parties.
