the Christmas 2020 runs the risk of being commitment causes COVID. The restrictions planned to stop the spread of the coronavirus, in fact, stand in contrast to many of the traditions of the Christmas season.
It must be said that the new DPCM does not include the Christmas period; for the moment, in fact, the rules established by the new decree will be valid only until December 3, 2020, then we will see based on the health situation.
Giuseppe Conte’s hope is power ease restrictions in the holiday season, so you can boost consumption and boost the economy in the last days of the year; However, he already explained at the press conference that many of the habits that characterize Christmas – as well as the New Year – this year we will have to forget.
In fact, at the end of the period of validity of the last DPCM – which is the one signed by the Government on November 3 – we will see a relaxation of the restrictions, also because it is precisely in that period that, according to the experts, second wave peak.
In this sense, we try to imagine a Christmas celebrated in compliance with the restrictions introduced by the last DPCM; This is what can and cannot be done.
Christmas shopping only in the yellow and orange areas, market stalls throughout Italy
Let’s think about Christmas presents first. We remember, in fact, that the new DPCM, as explained by the Frequently asked questions recently published by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers – includes in the notion of exhibitions also local events with a predominant commercial character. This means, for example, that I Christmas markets carried out outside of ordinary commercial activity in spaces dedicated to stable or periodic market activity, must be assimilated to fairs and therefore are forbidden.
In the yellow and orange area, however, it can at least be done shopping in stores buy Christmas gifts; in the red zone, where most businesses had to close, the only purchases allowed would be online.
It must be said, however, that it is the intention of the Government reopen all stores, including those in the red zone, close to the Christmas holidays, to ensure a recovery in consumption. We will see if the health situation allows it or if, at least in the red zones, the lockout continues.
Christmas dinner with friends and family: today it is already prohibited
If on the one hand the Prime Minister did not rule out a reopening of the stores at Christmas, on the other hand he has already explained that You can not imagine Christmas holidays with “kisses, hugs, dinners and bingo”.
An anticipation of what could be and what, in part, already is.
Because it must be said that if the current restrictions continue in force, the Christmas dinner would be really at risk. On the eve of this they certainly could not dine at their relatives’ house, given the curfew in force throughout Italy that prohibits unnecessary trips after 10 pm.
What some of you may be thinking about is the possibility of stay in the same house until 05:00, time the curfew ends.
Well no, because as the latest FAQ published by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers explains, they are Dinners with friends and family are not recommended. Wherever you are. However, then, the party ban.
It must be said that in the yellow and orange zones there is no real prohibition, as we read that “It is strongly recommended not to receive people who are not partners, except for work needs or situations of need and urgency.“There is only one recommendation, therefore, not to receive friends and family at home, which suggests the possibility of organizing a little dinner (remembering, however, the curfew rules), but with all masked guests.
For the same reason it is possible, but not recommended, organize at home, but also in the restaurant (only in the yellow areas) and within the limit of 6 people at the same table, the Christmas lunch.
In the red zones, however, there would be a real ban on home vacations. As explained in the FAQ, in fact, “It is not allowed to visit or meet with family or friends who do not live together, in any place, open or closed”.
