Save the Christmas, family relations and the economy: this is the government’s goal for the last holidays of the year. “We expect the numbers to improve and therefore exceptions are possible.Sandra Zampa, undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, announced yesterday. Indeed, as he also explains the newspaper In today’s newsstands, the executive is thinking of a “special plan” to grant some slack on the occasion of the liturgical feast par excellence: the hypotheses will soon have to be converted into concrete measures, since on December 3 it will be necessary to create another Dpcm which will set the rules until the end of 2020. The fear is that a rapid return to normal sociability could push the contagion curve upwards: this is why any form of gathering will be prohibited, thus imposing a halt to parties and banquets. For the New Year, however, we should not expect anything more: “There will be no gatherings in the square and parties as in past years“.
The “special plan” for Christmas
As of December 4, the opening hours of the stores could be extended until 10:00 p.m., possibly anticipating the opening of malls during the weekend. In the “yellow” areas an exception could be made with regard to the reopening of catering services: bars and restaurantsfor example, they could keep the blinds closed even at night but always with a maximum of 4 people at the table. However, it seems unlikely that this exception will also apply during the holiday period. There was talk of the possibility of keeping them open for lunch in the “orange” areas, but the rigid position of Minister Roberto Speranza leads to this option being increasingly excluded.
The subject related to displacements: according to Undersecretary Zampa only exceptionally, if the data allows it “can move from one region to another“In the study, reports the Corriere della Sera, there is a rule to identify some concrete situations avoiding that everything is translated into free mobility. The will to allow remains members of the family to meet again at least during Christmas. In order to favor the passage of some Regions in the “yellow” zone, the closure of the areas of greatest risk could be instituted with the prohibition of circulation and the lockdown of shops and restaurants. For him schools There should be no news: at least until January 7, 2021, distance education will continue in the baccalaureate and the closure of universities will be extended.
What changes inside the house
Around Christmas, an additional tightening could be decreed: curfew anticipate and stop mobility between municipalities. While we read The messenger, a minister explains that this repression can, however “disable the risk of Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve dinner, not the one representing Christmas lunch, Boxing Day, evenings with bingo, merchant at the fair, 7:30, panettone and nougat“. Therefore, we will rely on the sense of responsibility of the Italians:”We avoid meetings with more than 6 people, we limit the maximum invitations of friends and family who don’t live together“.
Obviously, government decisions will be based on tracking data, but excluding a free whole. Butalarm from Giuseppe Ippolito it is clear: “It’s not because it’s Christmas that you have to use different measurements“A warning issued given that these days all countries are evaluating the risks of vacations based on the dynamics of the pandemic:”In the US, where 1 million new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in the last week alone, the Centers for Disease Control has issued recommendations for Thanksgiving, November 26“.
The scientific director of Spallanzani and the member of the technical-scientific committee highlighted that the possibilities of applying security measures depend on the size of thehome, from the availability of spaces, “by the ability of individuals, adults and children, to avoid spills“. Always bearing in mind that the use of mask “is an essential part of control measures“.
