The new questions and answers (Faq) on Christmas and New Year parties, on specific cases: private parties, already prohibited by decree of last October, are out of bounds. Going to second homes, it must be emphasized, it is forbidden after December 20th if they are beyond regional borders.
Will I be able to have lunch with my mother who lives alone at Christmas?
If parents and children live in the same municipality, there is no legal problem. However, it is advisable that the elderly, those who risk losing their lives more than others, remain protected even at Christmas. So at lunch it is good that as few people as possible participate, preferably only parents and children. If on December 25 and 26 and on January 1 it is prohibited to travel between municipalities, it is also true that it is allowed to assist relatives in difficulty even if they live in different territories. Those who travel always carry their self-certification.
How many family members can I invite home on Christmas Eve?
The government has not imposed legal obligations on this in the first place because it would enter the most private sphere of citizens, but then because the controls would be impossible, if not counterproductive. Therefore, there is no roof for guests. However, the Dpcm “strongly” recommends limiting dinner to only the people you live with permanently. The objective of the recommendation is clear: to limit contact between people to a minimum to prevent the pandemic from breaking out again in January.
Can I have dinner delivered to my home during the holidays?
In the yellow stripe regions (probably all at Christmas) the bars and restaurants will always be open for lunch and until 6pm. This schedule will also apply to Christmas, San Esteban and New Year’s Eve. But beware: no more than four people can sit at the table unless there are more cohabitants in a house. At night, until 10pm, there is still the possibility of using the home delivery service and take away. Those who spend the 31st at the hotel must have dinner in their room.
Will stores and malls open on holidays?
Stores (obviously not grocery stores or pharmacies) are closed only in the red band regions. Which at the moment only concerns Abruzzo. So there is the possibility of going shopping and buying gifts for friends and family in physical stores as long as all the necessary precautions are used and especially respecting distances and often cleaning hands. The only limitation pertains to shopping centers that close in the days leading up to vacations and holidays to avoid crowds.
Coronavirus, Abruzzo is still a red zone but the Rt index (0.85) has fallen below the risk threshold
Can we go from Lazio to Umbria before 9pm and come back for Epiphany?
You cannot leave your region from December 21 to January 6. However, before December 21, you can move between the regions of the yellow band. Therefore, those residing in Lazio could move to a second residence in Umbria or Sardinia before the 21st. Afterwards, the prohibition to move even between the Yellow Regions applies. Prohibition that cannot be respected for three reasons: work, health, urgent. But there is also a fourth exception: you always keep the right to return to your residence.
Can I move out of the Region during the Christmas period?
Is it possible to go to the second house during the Christmas period? Not if it is outside your region. The circular sent yesterday by the Ministry of the Interior is very clear: from December 21 to January 6, it is forbidden to move from one Region to another. The ban on reaching the holiday homes is total on December 25 and 26 and January 1, days in which it is not possible to leave the municipality itself. Therefore, the government does not consider that reaching the second home is a “proven necessity”.
My boyfriend works up north, can he stay at my place for Christmas?
To avoid fines, what matters is residence. If two boyfriends work in different territories but reside in the same municipality at Christmas, no one can prevent them from having lunch together, obviously with all the necessary precautions. The situation is different if the two bride and groom reside in different municipalities. In this case, on the 25th, 26th and New Year’s Eve they will not be able to leave their respective municipalities. However, from December 21 to January 6, the right of access to residence or domicile is maintained.
Can I get to the house where I live during the holidays?
The answer is yes: those who want to get to their “usual home”, which is the house where they reside or where they have their residence, always maintain the right to do so, any day of the year. This means that for those who want to return home, the prohibition to travel between regions from December 21 to January 6, nor the prohibition to travel between municipalities scheduled for December 25 and 26 and New Year’s Eve, is not valid. Of course, you will need to carry the completed self-certification form with you.
My daughter is coming back from Paris, do you have to quarantine her?
From December 21 to January 6, anyone who enters Italy for tourist reasons from European countries must undergo a 14-day quarantine. Those who, again from EU countries, will enter Italy until December 20 and also from December 21 for work reasons, health, mandatory needs and even simply to return to their usual residence at the time of control they should simply show the results of a swab. (obviously if it is negative) made within 48 hours prior to crossing the border. In any case, entry into the national territory must be communicated to the prevention department of the competent health authority. Bottom line: those returning home from EU countries should first take a swab; those who want to come for tourism must quarantine themselves. Stopping at home for 14 days is still mandatory for non-EU citizens coming to Italy regardless of the date of entry.
Will there be a Midnight Mass with a curfew?
The Mass of the Nativity on the night of December 24 will be set at a time that will allow the faithful to return home before the curfew set for 10 pm. Even the bishops said they were in favor of the advance. There is talk of 20 or 20:30, but probably each parish will act as they see fit. In addition, more Masses will be celebrated at Christmas than in previous years in order to avoid gatherings. It is good to remember that the curfew will be in effect for the entire period of the Christmas holidays. Therefore, it will not be possible to leave home, except for exceptional reasons and with self-certification, from 10 pm to 5 pm every day. With the partial exception of New Years Eve. By January 1, 2021, the curfew will end at seven in the morning. The curfew can only be legally violated for the three now well-known goals: labor needs; proven health reasons and convincing reasons.
Covid, Italy newsletter, today December 5: new infections (21,052) and deaths (662) in decline. Buffer-positive ratio of 10.79%
Can I do physical activity during the holidays?
Yes, as long as there is no crowd. For example, you will not be able to go downhill skiing, because the lifts will be closed to avoid crowds at the cable car entrances, but you can go cross-country skiing while staying away from other athletes. Special attention to those who will go skiing abroad. Upon his return, even after January 6 (when the plants should also reopen in Italy), he could be quarantined. Walking, jogging and tennis are allowed without any problem.
On New Year’s Eve we will be with friends in a farmhouse. Can we dance?
Absolutely not. Private parties have been banned since mid-October, while discos have closed shortly after mid-August. But beyond legal regulations, it is important to understand that convivial moments during a pandemic constitute a danger, especially when they occur indoors. It is no coincidence that the European Union has decided not to sing in choir, especially in closed places like churches. In any case, those who participate in private parties risk very high fines.
