Self-certification will also be required in Christmas day? And if we decide to go to lunch with friends or family, what should be indicated among the reasons to justify the move? As we have already explained in other articles, the decree of December 18 n. 172, also known as “Christmas Decree”, allows, from December 24 to January 6, “the transfer to a single private home, located in the same region, once a day, in a period of time between 05.00 hours. and 22.00, and within the limit of two people, beyond those who already live there, in addition to those under 14 years of age over whom these people exercise parental authority and disabled or not self-sufficient people who live together. ” This means that, provided the legal provisions are respected, for the majority of Italians the Christmas lunch It is safe. Of course, we will not see the banquets we were used to, but there will still be the opportunity to visit friends and family in the highlights of the holiday.
And we get to the possible doubts. The most popular is the following: in self-certification Will only the reason for the move be stated or something else? Actually, in the self-declaration form available on the Viminale website, the name and surname of the person we are going to find should not be indicated. Fabio Ciciliano, chief doctor of the police and secretary of the Technical Scientific Committee, explained today to the Corriere della Sera that “for privacy reasons it is necessary to indicate where and in general who he is.” A way to protect privacy and at the same time guarantee a minimum of sociability in a certain period such as Christmas. In form of self certification It will also be necessary to indicate the direction from which the movement started and the destination direction. It follows that it will be quite easy to trace the name and surname of the person who welcomes us, but on the other hand if we respect the provisions we have nothing to fear. The situation is different for those who have a great Christmas in mind. And already because many are already thinking about how to circumvent the rules contained in the decree.
Christmas 2020: when to complete self-certification
In the meantime, a point must be clarified: the government has not imposed limits on the number of people who will stay at home, but it is clear that with Italy in the red zone, our presence around it will have to be justified. But, asks the “Corsera”, with the rules of the two people there is no risk that several couples see each other in the same house? “All the rules – responds Ciciliani – if they are misinterpreted they can lead to attempts to circumvent them. The police are doing everything possible to ensure accurate controls, also thanks to the involvement of the local police. We are facing a momentous emergency, I still hope in the great responsibility of the Italians who until now have been careful to respect the rules ”. In theory, the law does not even prohibit the possibility of seeing Christmas dinner or New Years Eve. In this case, what complicates things is that the curfew begins at 10:00 p.m.: the only solution to respect the law and celebrate the New Year, even if it is among a few close friends, is therefore to stay and spend the night.
The self-certification form of December 2020
The decree establishes that on December 24, 25, 26, 27, 31, 2020 and January 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 2021, the measures provided for the so-called “red zones” will be applied, and from 28 to December 30, as well as 4 in the orange areas. It goes without saying that you can easily move for work, health or need reasons, as well as for all other reasons allowed by current regulations or by the previous regulations or ordinance still in force.
When moving from one private home to another, as it is an exception in the regulations, it must be justified as one of the “other reasons allowed by current regulations” unless the Ministry of the Interior prepares another form. self certification with dedicated space. In addition to visiting friends and family, during the holidays, as well as on Christmas Day, you can also leave the house to go to mass. In this sense, the CEI recommended to the faithful that the church “must be reasonably identified among the closest.”
You must also indicate in the self-certification form: your usual address, a valid telephone contact, not being subject to the quarantine measure or not having tested positive for Covid-19 (except for movements ordered by the health authorities), being “aware of the criminal consequences provided in the case of false statements to public officials “governed by article 495 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. And yes, because you have to remember that making false statements can have criminal consequences. The model of self-declaration valid for December is available on the Viminale website: in essence, it is the same model that we have known since the beginning of the second wave. Therefore, there is no ad hoc model for vacation holidays. Christmas. However, it should be emphasized that the self-declaration is also in the possession of the police officers and can be completed at the time of control.
