Milan, December 21, 2020 – As of today, Monday, December 21, the rules are in effect contained in Christmas decree. And for 21 days Lombardy enters a whirlwind of colors: from yellow (still today and until Wednesday 23) to red (from December 24 to 27, at the height of the Christmas holidays), and then to orange from 28 to 30 December and turns red on the key days of the New Year: from December 31 to January 3. A day off in orange, January 4, and then again in red in view of Epiphany, January 5 and 6. Finally, the long-awaited return to yellow, from January 7, with the end of the holidays. Cross or delight? Why look good in the ballet of prohibitions and exceptions predicted by the government for these 21 days, the suspicion arises that the Lombards are eager to return to the yellow zone (and therefore leave the holidays) to be able to savor a little newfound freedom. Maybe (why not?), With the reopening of the ski lifts, theoretically scheduled for January 8. In theory, in fact, since several Valtellina operators have decided do not reopen implants after the holidays.
But let’s see what changes in the next few days. in front of displacements and what to do during the red, orange and yellow days.
Movements and openings of shops / bars on yellow days
As of today, Monday, December 21, it is no longer possible to move from one region to another without a valid reason, whether due to work, necessity or urgency (a self-certification will be necessary). Although it is guaranteed, as always, the return to one’s residence, domicile or domicile. On the commercial front: the stores will remain open until 9pm to allow for the last Christmas shopping and give merchants a chance. Bars and restaurants are also open, but only until 6 pm It will still be possible to have breakfast and lunch at the tables, but these (as already planned) cannot accommodate more than four people.
Red day transfers: the exception
There are a total of ten days in red between 2020 and 2021, this is the December 24, 25, 26, 27 and 31, 2020 and January 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, 2021. In these days of substantial blockade it is possible to move within the same municipality only with self certification and only for the reasons provided in the form (health, work and proven need), including assistance to the elderly and not self-sufficient. It will also be possible to do physical activity, but only individually. You can go out to go to mass, in fact the churches are open until 10 at night for religious services. The indication of the CEI (Italian Episcopal Conference) for the Vigil and the Ntale Mass is to bring with you theself certification and go to the nearest church. But there is an important one humiliation: even in the red zone days two diners who do not live together, in addition to children under 14 years oldmeDespite the prohibitions, they will be able to move to the private homes of relatives and friends, with the exception that they do so “once a day” in a period of time ranging from 5 to 22 and “to a single house” in the same region.
Transfers on orange days: the other exception
Compared to the ten days in the red zone, in which it is still allowed through a derogation to meet with a maximum of two people (excluding those under 14 years of age), the four days in the orange zone seem almost “heavier “. On January 28, 29, 30 and 4 of December It certainly is it is forbidden to leave the municipality itself except for proven reasons of work, health, necessity. From 5 to 22 cI can move exclusively within the municipality of residence or residence without having to justify the reason. Other exemption: sDisplacements will be allowed for those who reside in municipalities with up to 5,000 inhabitants and must travel a maximum distance of 30 kilometers, as long as they do not travel to the capital.
Home parties and micro dinners
The opening and closing mechanism has frozen the hopes of Lombard restaurateurs who had already made reservations for the holidays and therefore hoped to catch a breath of fresh air after months in which red was not only the color of the areas of Covid, but also that of the accounts. It will not be so. The new rules for the holidays launched from Government decree impose a new stop to the restoration activities. Until Wednesday they will be able to receive customers at the tables until 6:00 p.m. From December 24 to January 6, businesses must close because throughout Italy there will be ten days in the red band (holidays and before the holidays) and the rest of the days in orange. Until 10:00 p.m. they can only be taken home and to go. In order not to overly penalize Italians and not to force those living in small towns into forced isolation, two important exceptions have been introduced: the possibility of up to two people (excluding children under 14 years of age). years) to travel by invitations to the houses of family and friends even on red days and the possibility that those who live in centers with less than 5,000 inhabitants move in any case as long as they do not exceed 30 km and not towards the head.
