With great delay, but in the end the government decided. To avoid a new outbreak of infections, Italians will spend the holidays locked up. Christmas will be armored, even halfway through due to the derogation of visits.

Covid, which has once again shown its claws (Rt index going up), will cancel the traditional Christmas Eve race for last purchases (stores closed on the 24th) and dinners, lunches, New Year’s Eve parties, bingo and panettone afternoons among multiple families and friends. But the house can accommodate two people who do not live together (without any family ties), accompanied by children under 14 years of age. With the real risk of a “free all” that could frustrate the sacrifices of citizens who will respect the rules.
After days of fighting and torment, the government has approved the decree (which includes “immediate refreshments”) that will transform Italy into a single red zone on the ten holidays and before the holidays from December 24 to January 6. Orange zone rules instead of working days December 28-30 and January 4.
“It was not an easy, painful decision,” explained Giuseppe Conte, “the virus allows itself to bend but not defeat.” Then the premier highlighted the repeal: “We seek a balance between the need for a squeeze and the social and moral importance of the Christmas holidays, to allow that minimum of sociability during this period. Do you check houses? We do not send the police to the houses, this decree aims to limit the movement. However satisfied Dario Franceschini, leader of the rigorist front: «We have adopted essential measures to avoid a third wave. It will be a different Christmas and New Year, but the sacrifice must be made, it will help avoid suffering and save lives.
THE FIGHT FOR THE RED ZONE
Before the final mediation, Conte had managed to set the red zone time limit on January 3, leaving the yellow zone rules for December 28-30. But in the last mile, the penalty front with Franceschini and ministers Roberto Speranza (Health) and Francesco Boccia (Regions) managed to collect two results: the red zone (everything at home, shops, bars and restaurants blocked) will be valid until the Befana. . In addition Franceschini & C. have obtained the orange zone (shops open, but bars and restaurants closed) from Monday to Friday. However, it will always be possible to go out to go to mass and for reasons of “need, work or urgency.” Essential self-certification.
MEDIATION ON THE “COMMON”
The theme of visits to “avoid Christmas alone”, on which Conte fought, was the subject of fierce conflict. The sanctioners wanted to limit visits to “2 close relatives or relatives.” On the other hand, the premier has managed to widen the mesh: it will be possible to welcome 2 guests at home (even non-relatives or relatives), accompanied by children under fourteen years of age. This will allow not only two families, but also two pairs of friends, to get together for the holidays. The ban on crossing regional borders is maintained.
Conte, concerned “about the psychological stability of the country”, fought so that children up to 18 years old were not counted. In the end, however, he had to go back 14 years.
FAILURE IN CHECKS
The sanctioners, such as Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese, fear that the possibility of two people going to the home of another family will prevent “adequate controls.” “How are the police going to check,” said one minister during the long tug of war, that other people do not join the two authorized guests? Who can cross in real time the data of those who have benefited from the exemption of the two diners? ». In short, in fact, the Government appeals to the “sense of responsibility” of Italians, while confirming the sanctions of 400 to a thousand euros for the intelligent.
