Eve of tensions, fights and turns for him Christmas dpcm, which will contain the rules (and exceptions) aimed at changing the habits of Italians starting tomorrow for 50 days. Giuseppe Conte will sign it tonight, after the findings of the Regions and when, hopefully, the majority have reached an agreement on the most controversial aspects. In the now usual Council of Ministers of the night, the government approved the decree-law that prohibits from December 21 to January 6 “any movement in and out between the territories of different regions or autonomous provinces.” On December 25, 26 and January 1, “any movement between municipalities” will be prohibited, except for proven labor needs, situations of need and health reasons. And after a long battle over the exceptions, which the prime minister was very interested in, the return will be allowed “to one’s residence, domicile or home.” However, transfers to second homes outside the region will not be allowed and, on days of Christmas, Saint Stephen and New Years, even out of the ordinary.
Another novelty, if confirmed, refers to meetings in private homes. In addition to the “strong recommendation not to welcome people who do not cohabit” the government plans to put a limit on invitations: no more than ten people. The day was marked by very heated comparisons. Italia Viva fought (in vain) to keep the hotel’s restaurants open on the night of December 31. The confrontation that generated the most news took place in the meeting between the Senate group leaders and the Minister of Health. The chairman of the Senators of the Democratic Party Andrea Marcucci, in line with the Renzianos, has raised the voice on family reunification even between different regions and stays in second homes wherever they are. But he hit the wall of Francesco Boccia and Roberto Speranza, who had raised the alarm in the classroom: “If we lower our guard, the third wave is just around the corner, the next holidays must be faced with extreme seriousness.”
The fight in the leader of the group had echoes in the upper floors of the Democratic Party. Del Nazareno, Nicola Zingaretti stopped Marcucci: “I agree with the choices illustrated by Speranza, we cannot frustrate the efforts made.” Dario Franceschini, accused by Renzians and some others of having “dictated a more rigid line than Conte’s openings”, closed the dispute: “I totally agree with Minister Speranza’s line, which starts from the certainty that he only sacrifices during the holidays Christmas can prevent a third wave of infections. ” Political fallout is likely To be heavy. Because if it is true that in the Palazzo Madama the ex-Renzian demos close to Marcucci sows discord against the head of the delegation, accused of being “his own boss” and never being seen, it is also true that among the leaders and ministers of the Democratic Party there are those who think that the moment is approaching to change the leader of the group.
The curfew
Curfew is confirmed from 10pm to 6am on December 4 and until January 6. There will be no exceptions on holidays, the time to return home will be the same also on Christmas, December 26 and 31, New Year’s Eve and December 6, Epiphany day. After this time, it will be possible to leave home only for “proven needs”, which are work, health and emergency reasons. There is also a ban on gathering and the obligation to wear a mask outdoors and indoors. Mayors may issue ordinances to close streets and squares to avoid crowds even during the day, or foresee entry of fees in those areas of cities and towns where there is a risk of concentrations.
The regions
From December 20 to January 6 it will be forbidden to move between the regions even if they are in the yellow band. A measure decided “to prevent millions of Italians from traveling and circulating the virus.” However, it will always be possible to go where you have your residence or address. The possibility of going to the single parent home is still being discussed, with self-certification. For the regions of the yellow stripe it will be possible to cross the regional borders until December 20, transfer to second residences where you can stay and then return to the residence or domicile is also allowed. For those who are in the red or orange zone it will always be possible from December 4 to January 6 to return to their residence and domicile.
Parties
Christmas day, On December 26 and January 31 it will not be possible to leave the municipality of residence. The recommendation is to spend festive lunches and dinners with friends or close relatives. It is debated whether to include in the new decree a recommendation not to exceed 10 people at the table. Scientists suggest respecting distance and the obligation to wear a mask when not at the table, in any case to protect the elderly and people with frailty. On Christmas Day, December 26 and 31, the restaurants will be open for lunch.. Christmas mass could be established at 8 pmIn any case, the Episcopal Conference has already recommended that dioceses plan functions throughout the day to encourage the staggered participation of the faithful.
Snow
The Dpcm that goes into effect on December 4 confirms the ban on opening lifts and introduces ban on opening slopes. A decisive measure to avoid “holidays in the snow”. The government had announced that it wanted to create a coordination with the European Union to have equal rules throughout Europe, but the EU has specified that these are choices made by individual states and therefore each government will be able to act as it sees fit. In Italy, however, it was decided that skiing will be banned and requests from governors and operators of the sector who had submitted guidelines with a 50% capacity of the cable cars, the use of mandatory masks in the lifts and the spacing for them in a row. Measures considered insufficient to avoid contagion.
San Silvestro
New Year Eve hotels will be open but internal restaurants must be closed: consumption will only be allowed in the room.
The ban was included in the new holiday provision to prevent people from reserving the room and then hosting parties and dinners inside hotels, as has already happened in many cities and towns. For New Year’s Eve, the same hours are valid for the bars and restaurants located in the yellow areas: they close at 6 pm In the red and orange areas, the bars and restaurants remain closed throughout the day. In the end it was decided that the mountain hotels will be able to remain open but with the same rules as for the rest of Italy and therefore with the prohibitions for the party.
And the
The stores may remain open until 9:00 p.m. The decision to extend the opening hours was taken to stagger the entrances and avoid queues and crowds. Shopping centers and department stores will also reopen on weekends and holidays. The possibility of allowing the reopening of previously prohibited commercial establishments continues to be debated. To avoid overcrowding of shopping streets, governors and mayors may issue ordinances to close streets and plazas, but also place spacers on busiest streets that only allow a limited number of people to pass. The Interior Ministry has already urged the prefects and quaestors to intensify controls in all places to ensure distancing.
The trips
Those returning from abroad before December 20 will have to undergo a mandatory swab if they return from countries for which the test is already required.
The list includes Belgium, France (including Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyana, Reunion, Mayotte), the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Spain (including territories on the African continent), the United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland. Those who return to Italy after December 20 will need to remain in quarantine for ten days, regardless of the country of origin.. A rule introduced to prevent a repeat of what happened in the summer and as a deterrent for those who plan to go skiing in those countries that have decided to leave open lifts and slopes, including Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia. France and Spain can also allow skiing.
The school
There is still discussion about possible reopening of secondary schools, but it seems difficult to reopen all the schools present on December 14. Lessons are more likely to start again in class even for high school after Epiphany, hence Monday, January 11. However, the Minister of Education Lucía Azzolina has announced that in the Dpcm in force since December 4 “there will be measures for a gradual return to school that we are working on at this time.” Meanwhile, the frequency for primary and secondary school remains as already established. The hypothesis remains to entrust the prefects with the task of reorganizing public transport in order to stagger bus and subway attendance and prevent the return of students to classrooms from triggering the epidemiological curve.
