Christmas and travel between regions to visit relatives, Zampa: possible exceptions- Corriere.it

As learned, during the episode of Saturday half past eight that will air on La7 tonight, the Undersecretary of Health Sandra Zampa (Pd) made some considerations about the limitations that may be in force during the Christmas and New Year holidays. There are 40 days until Christmas, Zampa said, and right now epidemiological data tells us that we cannot move between regions, but we expect the numbers to improve and therefore there may be exceptions. As for New Year, the undersecretary explains that even those days will be adequately regulated. In particular, on New Year’s Eve meetings and parties will not be allowed in the square as in years past.

How many family members can we serve at Christmas?

This Christmas we must make the effort to be truly the least amount possible, concluded the undersecretary, not the number itself, but that the greater the circle of people who do not usually frequent, the greater the risk. I guess you can say five, six people maximum among the dearest affections, but of course it will not be possible to control it, so everyone will be asked to limit the people who meet as much as possible.

The government asks for caution: it will be a sober Christmas

The topic has been around for days. The government’s work to configure the new Dpcm that should be in effect during the holidays has already begun. The hope that, as of December 3, the epidemiological situation has improved to the point of allowing prudent relaxation for shopping and vacations. The orientation compass will be the numbers, two in particular: the Rpt value, which is the percentage of new infected in swabs performed, and the Rt, the transmission rate. The first must reach 10, the second 1. Conte, in all his most recent statements, has always invited caution, remembering that 2020 must be, in any case, a sober Christmas. Kisses, hugs, banquets and festoons are unthinkable, regardless of the curve, he declared during his speech at the Anci assembly. Conte, therefore, asks for common sense, so that what happened in the summer with nightlife and discos is not repeated, lightness that has had dramatic consequences.
