What can we do at christmas? Can we go and go home? Will stores, malls and restaurants reopen? There are many questions that arise in this month of November that are now being exhausted.
Today November 25 expected decision Minister Speranza who, together with the Government, will outline the rules for holidays and it will begin to shed light on the new measures in force with the next Dpcm planned as of December 3.
Already Conte he anticipated something about how will we spend christmas and new year. Invited Monday night by Lilli Gruber to Half past eight, the premier spoke about the rules for the Christmas holidays that the government is thinking about. The goal, while loosening restrictions across Italy to give the economy a breather, is not to make the same mistakes as this summer, with the vacations in total freedom prompting a resumption of infections in the fall.
While waiting for the bureaucracy, we try to take stock of what awaits us in December. here what we can and cannot do at christmas and new year.
Christmas rules 2020: what will the government decide?
Nothing has been decided yet, even if the latest rumors talk about the possibility of Limit table seating for 6 to 8 people, and a possible reopening of schools before Christmas, even if this is still a big knot to untie.
It is possible that Italy will look at what is happening in Europe and follow the example of France, where the stop curfew during the Christmas and New Years holidays and where non-essential stores could reopen on December 1.
Christmas 2020: what can be done
Pending the official status, this is what will be allowed to do according to the advances on the Christmas rules leaked so far:
- Dinners and lunches with family
- Buy presents
- Gift exchange
- Go to Mass
- Staying out of the house after 10 p.m. M. On Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve
- Moving between regions for family reunification
According to Conte’s premises, we can have family dinners and lunches, although preferably only with close relatives. In any case, a maximum number of people who can sit at the table will not be established, also because it would be impossible to control what people do in your home. “A free and democratic state cannot enter the houses and say how many people sit at the table” said the prime minister. Therefore, it will be up to everyone’s common sense to try to restrict the number of guests to limit the chances of contagion.
For the same reason, all coexistence and sociability situations typical of the Christmas period, from parties to buttonar with friends.
Will be allowed fare purchases for holiday shopping (think about an extension of opening hours and reopening of department stores and shopping centers on weekends), and exchange gifts (but without kisses and hugs). You can also go to church to participate in the usual Christmas Eve Mass, with an exceptional postponement of the curfew on the night of December 24 and December 31. For the other days, the curfew should remain at 10 pm throughout Italy.
Can we go to the restaurant? Maybe. The reopening of restaurants at Christmas, expected by many, is one of the measures that will be contained in the new Dpcm December 3. Restaurants and bars can reopen for dinner, but with a maximum of 4 people per table. It is not yet clear whether restrictions will be loosened only in the yellow areas or whether ad hoc distinctions will be made between regions, given that the hypothesis of placing Italy in a macro yellow area in December is taking shape.
What can’t be done
- To go skiing
- Party and bingo
- Organize the party
- Make New Years Eve in the square
- Go to other regions for no reason
Nothing events in the square and in other places of aggregation; you will not be allowed to organize balls not even at home.
Travel and holidays in the mountains are in the government’s sights. Nothing White week this year, there are no high-altitude escapes for skiing Palazzo Chigi has not accepted requests from the regions to reopen the ski lifts and start the ski season, on the contrary, it is studying a European plan together with France and Germany to block the snow vacation.
The knot of travel remains to be untied: can you travel on vacation? It can be possible go back home or go to another region for tourism?
Health Minister Speranza said the movements between regions for Christmas 2020 and New Years You can pass “Only if all regions went into the yellow zone, but at this time we must avoid all movements that are not necessary”.
Conte also chimed in at this point, saying that “We are working on moving between regions at Christmas, but if we continue like this at the end of the month we will no longer have red zones. The Christmas period requires ad hoc measures, otherwise we run the risk of a repeat in mid-August and we cannot afford “. According to these statements, it is possible that Christmas outings to other regions are only allowed if for reasons of need and family reunification, it is justified with a specific self-certification.
