Italy red zone at Christmas, but only holidays and days before holidays, and not a continuous closure from January 24 to 6. This appears to be the basis of the measures that the government is preparing to put in place for the Christmas and New Year holidays to contain the spread of the coronavirus. The red zone ‘active’, therefore, on Christmas Eve, Christmas and San Esteban, New Year’s Eve and January 1. Closed on December 24, 25, 26 and Sunday 27. Then again on December 31 and January 1. Plus on January 2 and 3, a Saturday and a Sunday. A compromise, which does not come to a close until January 6, requested by the most rigorous, which would include the ministers of the Democratic Party and the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza. The hard line but more moderate, however, would be the choice of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the M5S.

The next weekend, December 19 and 20, should not be characterized by additional limitations. You will be able to move between the regions included in the yellow zone while the arrival or departure of the orange or red areas will be possible only for residents. The government would be oriented not to restrict travel in the next few hours to avoid the “great exodus” of the holidays, as some governors who called for a crackdown complained. “The problem is not the trips – explains an authorized government source to Adnkronos – the problem is the dinners and the parties, that’s where you really risk”.
