It will be a Christmas 2020 sober, without balls or kisses or hugs, otherwise all this could be paid for in January with an increase in infections and deaths. Word of Giuseppe Conte, who spoke by videoconference to the Anci Assembly.
“Right now no one can tell us what the situation will be like at Christmas – explained the premier – We will have to get closer and measure the interventions, we are preparing for various scenarios”.
Regardless of how the health situation in Italy will evolve, we still have to “prepare us to spend the holidays in a more sober way: not to kisses, hugs, dances and celebrations”.
“A week of unbridled sociability would mean pay a sharp rise in the curve in January, that would be crazy“Conte added, thus hinting what the government’s action could be to regulate the vacation period.
For Conte it will be a sober Christmas
In the middle of second wave of coronavirusAs the latest bulletin recorded 753 deaths, returning the country to the tragic figures of March, for some time we have been trying to formulate hypotheses about how Italians will spend Christmas.
The government is squeezed between two fires: on one side are the health needs given the very difficult period, but on the other hand there is awareness that excessive restrictive measures could coup de grace to an already moribund economy due to Covid, not to mention the social repercussions of a past Christmas in a substantial lockdown.
As Conte pointed out, no one has the crystal ball to know what it will be like there. health situation in Italy in the holiday period, but at Palazzo Chigi it seems obvious that they have been thinking about how to behave for some time.
Several experts have sounded the alarm about how an excessive loosening of the guard during the holidays could lead in the first months of 2021 to a third wave given the high probability of new outbreaks, a bit like it happened in the summer.
The clue is that we will go towards a middle way: stores open but with the utmost attention to avoid dangerous gatherings. Therefore, now we can forget about parties or other types of parties, but shopping and visiting relatives should not be at risk.
The timing of recent measures, with the Regions divided into the three risk zones, It would not be random but aimed to recover the emergency in the coming weeks to have less pressure on Christmas.
The hope is that during the Christmas season there will be no more red or orange areas, with the epidemiological curve which, in this sense, would be giving encouraging signs, although it is still too early to be optimistic.
