Movements prohibited even between municipalities on the days of December 25 and 26 and January 1, 2021. The return to your home will always be guaranteed.

Important: coming The system of red, orange and yellow bands confirmed in decreasing order the spread of the infection and the pressure on the health system, with the consequent stricter measures. The goal is to bring the whole country to the yellow band in mid-December, the least strict, but reinforced by mobility bans and other restrictions valid for the holiday period.
Moving Between Regions During Holidays: Things You Should Know
What does the decree establish? Decree Law December 2 n. 158 prohibits travel between different regions from December 21, 2020 to January 6, 2021, except those motivated by proven work needs, situations of need or health reasons. You will not be able to move to second homes, on those days, if they are in another region. More tightening on the “hottest” days: in fact, on December 25 and 26, 2020 and January 1, 2021, trips between different municipalities will also be prohibited, with the same exceptions (work, health, necessities, everything to self-certify in case of controls). There is an exception: it will always be possible, even from December 21 to January 6, to return to one’s residence, address or home.
Who can then leave the municipality where he lives? On holidays (December 25, December 26, January 1) only those with proven needs can do so. Obviously, those who leave their municipality previously, can still return there. Who can leave the region where you live? You can move before the dates indicated by the decree law and return home at any time, but only between the regions of the yellow band. In the red band you can only move for real emergencies, such as helping a non-self-sufficient person.
Chapter of the second houses: staying in the yellow strip, you can go there before December 21. Then, from December 21, 2020 to January 6, 2021, it will be prohibited to move to second homes that are located in a Region or Autonomous Province other than yours. On December 25 and 26, 2020 and January 1, 2021, the prohibition will also apply to second homes located in a municipality other than yours. In fact, on holidays such as December 25, 26 and January 1, it is forbidden to leave the municipality itself, unless you also have to assist non-self-sufficient people here, or that you have to work on those days or have health problems.
Nobody (almost) likes the prohibition of moving between municipalities
Mobility between regions and municipalities during the Christmas period and holidays (December 25 and 26, January 1)
The rules on prohibited movements between municipalities (for example, small municipalities of 1,000 inhabitants and neighbors), but allowed in the same municipality when it comes to the main metropolises (the 181 square kilometers of Milan and the 1,285 square meters of Rome) have raised more than one eyebrow. In fact, the Dpcm is very clear. Let’s summarize the rules for moving between regions and municipalities during the next vacation:
- MOBILITY BETWEEN REGIONS – From December 21 to January 6 it will no longer be possible to move even between the yellow regions. Permission to return to the places of residence or domicile and always and in any case to return home. There are always exceptions for reasons of need, work or health. It will not be possible to reach the second house in another region and municipality on December 25 and 26 and January 1.
- MOBILITY BETWEEN MUNICIPALITIES – On December 25 and 26 and January 1, it will also be forbidden to travel from the municipality in which you are, whether that of residence, domicile or not.
- FIRE COVER – The curfew remains in effect from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. On December 31, the curfew that imposes the travel ban is extended until 7 in the morning.
Meetings and travel during the holidays
“It will always be allowed”, Conte said, “to return to the municipality where you have residence, domicile or where the home is located: this will allow the reunification of distant and distant couples for work reasons but who live with certain periodicity in the same residence. to reunite “
Node of reunions: in the next few days the Faq (answers to frequently asked questions) of the Presidency of the Consell will clarify the specific cases but for the elderly and couples of relatives the possibility of spending Christmas days together is open. To visit an elderly relative who lives only in another region or even in another municipality, you can resort to the state of need. Assistance to an elderly person in difficulty is considered a cause that justifies the prohibited movement. But how many people will be able to move? Will the child who travels to visit the elderly parent take his family unit? Returning to the home or home will allow the reunification of distant couples who periodically live in the same house.
Quarantine for those who go on vacation abroad from December 21 to January 6
Italians traveling abroad for tourism from December 21 to January 6 will be required to quarantine upon their return. “It is a clearly dissuasive measure: we don’t know where they will go and if parties will be allowed there. Foreigners coming to Italy at the same time will also be quarantined.” The rule is clear in this case: whoever leaves national borders in that period of time, upon returning is obliged to observe the 14-day quarantine (always, even in the absence of symptoms).
“The problem will arise above all at Christmas, when movements to and from abroad are more frequent: and therefore even those who decide to cross national borders will have to undergo more rigorous controls when returning to Italy,” the minister explained today. degli Interni, Luciana Lamorgese, in an interview with La Stampa. “With the widespread confinement it was easier to control and sanction, while today, with all open economic activities, it is also up to citizens to behave in a responsible manner to avoid dangerous meetings.”
As of January 7, movements will once again be “free”, with the restrictions provided by the colored band system.
