A new grip for Christmas: a red (or orange) zone on holidays and before the holidays and, the only exception, a specific relaxation for traveling between small towns. Even Rome, after the new scenes of social gatherings in the city during the last weekend, has fallen under the scrutiny of the government that is thinking of closing ranks before the Christmas holidays.
The last example of overcrowding in the capital took place last night: due to the presence of too many people, so that it was no longer possible to maintain a safe distance, the patrols of the local police I Gruppo Trevi had to proceed with the temporary. isolation, until the restoration of security conditions, of the area of the Trevi Fountain in Rome to allow the departure of those present.
A temporary closure that goes hand in hand with the controls on Saturday when the number of presences in the shopping streets of Rome has increased significantly, so it is necessary to close via del Corso (the video of the busy street) at crossings with via of Parliament. , via della Vittoria and piazza del popolo at intervals of approximately 15 minutes, as well as the closure of the Flaminio and Spagna metro stops for approximately 2 hours. Interventions also in Testaccio and Trastevere.
Scenes that have been produced in patches all over Italy. And then the hypothesis that the government is considering would be to adopt homogeneous rules throughout the country, with a tightening of the provisions to avoid the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dpcm Christmas, travel between regions and municipalities during the holidays: here are the rules
The change could materialize in the next few hours, with a series of interventions aimed at preventing Christmas and the New Year from becoming the starting point of a new avalanche of new positives. And it is not ruled out at this point that there may also be a new Dpcm, to intervene in the most problematic aspects.
On the table, as a first point, a series of even tougher interventions to avoid crowds in the streets and shopping malls. Not only that, in the central areas of large cities, such as Rome, there is also the hypothesis of selective closures (not just quota restrictions as is the case now) or anticipating time limitations at night and the closing of bars and restaurants . The restaurants, open until now for lunch and at night only to take away, are still a knot: there are “penalty shooters” and supporters of the soft line. Someone, in fact, is pushing for closure even at lunch, as is the case with the red or orange zones, and greater support from the Government.
And therefore, even if most of Italy will be in the “yellow belt”, we are now thinking of “red zone” style bans by completely closing bars, restaurants, ice cream parlors and patisseries. As well as shops with the exception of pharmacies, tobacconists and kiosks. Today it will be decided whether the measure is activated from December 19 and 20 or if, instead, it slides towards the days close to Christmas.
