I also’European Union give his thing advice its how should Christmas 2020 be. While the Government is considering what restrictions to introduce with the next Prime Minister’s Decree, the EU has already thought of its own strategy for a vacation in safety.
On the other hand, it will be a Different christmas has been known for some time: the Government seems to have spoken in favor of stricter rules compared to those expected today, to limit contagion opportunities. A decision that finds the favors of the European Union that in these hours has invited the member states to be prudent in view of Christmas.
In this regard, the Commissioner for Health of the European Union, Stella kyriakides, presented the strategy on Covid in view of the holidays. An armored Christmas, so that it can be “safer for everyone”.
Therefore, it is possible to celebrate, but we must do everything possible to reduce the risk of contagion. For this reason, important information has arrived from the EU in this regard: it should be noted that these they are not binding for the Member States, but we imagine that the Italian Government itself will, at least, take note of this in the evaluation phase new DPCM rules (for which the Council of Ministers is expected in the afternoon).
How to spend Christmas? This is what the EU thinks
EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides reiterated the importance of not loosening anti-Covid restrictions in view of the end of the year holidays, otherwise we run the risk of jeopardizing the progress made in recent months. For this reason we must limit meeting opportunities as much as possible, as in the case of Christmas mass.
Forbidden Masses
In this regard, in fact, Kyriakides said that he wanted to prevent Christmas celebrations from turning into “Covid super-spreading events“From Brussels, therefore, comes a true ban on the masses, with the proposal to replace them.”with initiatives online, on TV or radio”.
Closed ski slopes
For the same reason, the EU is in favor of the decision to do not reopen the ski slopes: on the other hand, last year many – returning from ski holidays – “they took the virus home”.
Domestic bubbles
It will be important limit external contacts as much as possible and that is why the EU recommends creating “domestic bubbles”, Always spending the holidays with the same people. An indication that you will probably find comments in the new DPCM, as here there should be a recommendation on the possibility of celebrating Christmas only with close relatives.
Car quarantine
And if a state, should not be the case of Italy, decided in favor of a temporary loosening of the rules about social gatherings and events, it should also include gods strict requirements so that “people are quarantined before and after a certain number of days(Which according to the EU should be at least 7 days). How to say that to allow a Christmas “enlarged“A quarantine must be foreseen before and after dinner, to avoid this becoming an opportunity for contagion.
The other European Union proposal for extend the christmas break for school. In fact, it would be convenient to delay the return of students to class for a few days: observing a period of isolation at home could be the solution to prevent the reopening of schools from causing the spread of Covid.
The suggestion, therefore, is to create a period post-vacation bearing also for workers (who could be employed in smart jobs before returning to the workplace). This will allow workers to self-quarantine before attending social gatherings.
Attention to communications to citizens
Individual states will need to be careful in giving citizens clear and supportive communications, explaining why some decisions are made. And, when possible, it would be convenient to link them to certain objectives to make them “tangible and understandable“On the other hand, I never eat in this situation.”citizen consent and compliance with measures is essential”.
Clear communication is particularly important as well because we must not underestimate “the impact on the mental health of the population“, Especially between”the most vulnerable“And the fact that they were recorded high rates of stress and anxiety prove it. In this sense, in addition to providing support to these people, it will also be necessary “Ensure availability and easy access to psychosocial support mental health services for people in need.”.
