Italy’s red zone from December 24 to January 6 on holidays and days before holidays and orange on the remaining days. This would be the decision taken by the government during the meeting between the prime minister Giuseppe Conte and the heads of delegation of the majority to decide on the new grip during the Christmas period. As leaked, the intent is clear: the risk of a resurgence of the epidemic is too high, so we are moving towards severe restrictions. Barring surprises, the vacation schedule should be as follows. SinceDecember 24-27From January 31 to January 3 and January 5 to 6, Italy should appear in red. The other days orange.
Early curfew at 8pm on orange days
A reinforced orange zone: According to AdnKronos, the curfew should be brought forward to 20. This is the decision taken during the meeting between Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the heads of delegation of the majority forces, also present the Undersecretary of the Prime Minister, Riccardo Fraccaro, and the Minister . Regional affairs, Francesco Boccia.
At the moment it is not yet clear whether the new measures will be enacted with a decree or with a Dpcm. In any case, the provision must include a rule that provides for the possibility of leaving municipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, within a radius of 30 kilometers. However, you will not be able to travel to go to the capital municipalities, even if they are within a 30 km radius.
In the decree (or Dpcm that is) there will also be an exception to allow two non-cohabitants, but only close relatives, to visit parents or grandparents, stopping, for example, for dinner on Christmas Eve or for Christmas lunch. On ‘red’ days, therefore, you can travel with self-certification “to visit a relative, bringing with you children ‘under 14’ who in any case will be excluded from the ‘count’. That is, you can also go to grandparents if in four, the important thing is that the two minors are under 14 years of age ”.
Within the red and orange zone, therefore, without prejudice to the prohibition of movement between Regions, a maximum of two people who do not cohabit should be allowed to visit private homes on both “red” and “orange” days. .
In summary, the exemptions should be as follows:
- Possibility of leaving municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, within a 30-kilometer radius;
- Possibility of going out even on “red” days to visit close relatives;
Compared to what was leaked yesterday and in the last hours, the most important news (yet to be confirmed) refers to the curfew that, as we have anticipated must start from 20 and no more from 22. The rules obviously apply only to “orange” days since on “red” days it is forbidden to leave the house at any time, except for work, health or necessity reasons.
Red and orange zone: what changes at Christmas
Therefore, the government’s proposal provides for a red zone throughout the national territory. from December 24 to 27, then from December 31 to January 3 and from January 5 to 6. On the other hand, the days of December 28 to 30 would remain orange, while the 21, 22 and 23 should be “yellow”. A concession to Christmas shopping? On orange days, the stores must remain open regularly, obviously subject to compliance with anti-Covid measures. Instead, bars, restaurants, pubs, ice cream parlors and pastry shops (with the exception of dining rooms and catering) will be closed. Both on “red” and “orange” days, the possibility of home delivery and take-away catering would be maintained, with the prohibition of consumption on the spot or in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, we are moving towards new strong restrictions, even if it will be necessary to see if the governors accept these measures. Above all, the Minister of Health insisted on the hard line hope. The Leu exponent would have indicated that the RT index already “this week is prominent from 0.82 to 0.86”. It’s certainly not a comforting sign a few days before Christmas.
Meanwhile, the first contrary opinions are already being registered. For the governor of Campania Vincenzo De Luca “there should be no exceptions to be effective measures. They make fun of them. We make an exception for municipalities under 5 thousand, then another for the Christmas party: when we say these things there is to be outraged. Who controls? “
“In Campania – he added during a direct Facebook – we follow the path of the utmost rigor to reopen everything and forever. There will be no mobility for municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, there will be an ordinance that prohibits it. Other ordinances will be tasked with counteracting the sale and consumption of alcohol in public. We have withstood the wave of contagion in recent months, we have taken war measures for our health system, but we have resisted. This was also possible thanks to some measures we have taken: in August we filtered for those who were returning to Campania on vacation, we closed the schools a month before the national decision and we took measures before the others and allowed us to save ourselves ”.
And when it comes to travel between municipalities, Veneto will also go its own way. Yesterday, Governor Luza Zaia announced the halt and closure of municipal boundaries from December 19 to January 6, but only after 2 in the afternoon. “The order aims to avoid social gatherings in the afternoon, in the cities, and especially at the weekend – Zaia explained today – it is true that common sense is the basis of all this game, and if we think about regulating it with Dpcm and ordinances, it will be difficult, because the game is long between now and next April. And then – warned Zaia – We cannot control 5 million Venetians with the game of cops and robbers. If we still have meetings, I will take note and at that time ‘whoever is the cause of his own evil laments’ “, the governor of Veneto concluded bitterly.
Meanwhile, the call of a group of doctors must be recorded, including Susanna Esposito, Senior Lecturer in Pediatrics at the University of Parma and consultant for the World Health Organization (WHO), and Stefano Zona, specialist in infectious diseases of the Ausl of Modena. , which ask “to impose restrictive measures throughout the Italian territory throughout the Christmas period.” According to the white coats, there is a need for a “national lockdown” that should be followed by “intermittent closures until the summer.” And the most urgent request is that of “clear and rigid measures during the Christmas period”, aimed at “guaranteeing the reduction in the number of infections and the reopening of schools in January.” The white coats – promoters, among others, of a first appeal sent on November 2 to the Government and the members of the technical-scientific committee for the coronavirus emergency, in which they proposed intermittent closures until spring – express concern about the “uncertainties “. of the Executive “in the management of the pandemic:” The number of infections and daily deaths continues to be dramatically high and in some regions, as in the case of Veneto, it is growing strongly – notes Zona – We cannot wait for the effects of the campaign of mass vaccination, we must act now to stop the contagion. The government’s contradictory messages will have dramatic consequences, ”he warns. “We must reach a national closure during the Christmas period, chosen by several European countries, to ease pressure on hospitals and ensure the reopening of schools in January.”
Edit: The government has confirmed the possibility, during the holiday period, of traveling to visit the closest relatives. However, the exemption only affects two people. In addition, it is confirmed that children under 14 years of age are excluded from the count, which will also lead to a small concession on the possibility of seeing grandparents. The reports from Adnkronos.
Edit: Orange zone throughout Italy from Monday and red zone on holidays and days before holidays, until January 7. This is the hypothesis that is being discussed in the videoconference between the Government and the Regions, which has been going on for “hours.” The president of the Veneto Region, Luca Zaia, anticipates this, speaking at the regional council in response to requests for a report on the epidemiological situation presented by exponents of the opposition. Therefore, the days of December 21 to 23 could be subject to the restrictions provided in the orange zones. Dire agency informs. Last update at 5:49 pm.
