Also for the day of Today, December 26, Saint Stephen’s Day, all of Italy is the red zone. But what are the measures and rules adopted by the government to deal with the risks associated with the spread of the coronavirus? First of all, regarding displacements, the premise is that returning to one’s own residence, domicile or domicile is always a legitimate reason for moving, as well as traveling for proven reasons of work, health or need is always possible, without distinction of days and hours. By decree, today it will be possible to move to another municipality, as long as it is within the region itself, only once a day, to visit family or friends, between 5 and 22 and up to a maximum of two people. In any case, the person or two people who move can bring with them children under 14 years of age (or other children under 14 over whom the same people exercise parental authority) and disabled or non-self-sufficient people who live with them. It is important to remember to always carry your self-certification with you.

In the decree, there is also a significant exception: the movement to provide assistance to non-self-sufficient people will in fact be allowed even between municipalities / regions in different areas, where it is not possible to provide them with the necessary assistance through other subjects present in the same municipality / region. However, it is not possible to transfer more people than strictly necessary to provide the necessary assistance: as a general rule, the need to provide assistance cannot justify the movement of more than one adult relative, possibly accompanied by minors or disabled persons than normally already attends “.
