The curfew is kept at 10 p.m. Even at Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and the bars and restaurants close at 6pm. M. All over Italy, as all regions should enter the yellow band for the holidays. The three-color zone system remains in effect. This is what the government revealed in the videoconference meeting between Minister Francesco Boccia and the Regions. The new restrictions could last until January 15. But this will depend on how well we can keep infections under control over the Christmas holidays. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Health Minister Roberto Speranza, together with Minister Federico D’Incà, will meet with the leaders of the majority group at 3:00 p.m. to take stock of the Dpcm. The draft will be sent on December 2 to the Regions for a final evaluation. In fact, the provision must be signed on December 3 (expiration date of the current Dpcm) and enter into force on 4.
Hope for regions: not to accelerate easing
From the Conference of the Regions on Monday, the government received an invitation to consider the ban on meetings as a “key principle” on which to focus the new Dpcm, as well as to authorize interregional movements between yellow areas. But the government – also present with the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza – has not shown any willingness to grant relaxation during the vacation period: we must “maintain rigor and prudence so as not to frustrate the first results that we are seeing,” said Speranza. learn during the meeting with the Regions.

Prohibition of movement between yellow regions
The government’s intention is to ban travel between regions from December 19 or 20 to Befana. For now, pressure from the Alpine regions, and later also from Abruzzo, to keep ski facilities open for hotel guests and second home owners, has also been rejected by the sender. The Christmas Masses will be held “in full compliance with the norms,” said Bishop Mario Meini, pro-president of the CEI. And, therefore, they will be early before midnight, to respect the 10 p.m. curfew.
Schools reopened after Epiphany
Another hot topic is that of the school, whose 100% reopening will only take place after the Epiphany. The next Dpcm could contain a measure, proposed by the Ministry of Education, that entrusts the prefects with the task of coordinating, in their respective territories, the organization of the transportation system linked to school activities.
Vaccine plan ready, operational at the end of January
As for the vaccination plan, it is ready, but it will be operational when the vaccines have the marketing authorizations: Commissioner Domenico Arcuri would have said this in a videoconference with the Regions. The forecast is that the authorizations may arrive at the end of January. For Pfizer vaccines that will have to be stored at -75 degrees, there will be 300 distribution points, Arcuri said.
