Getting around on Christmas: when the controls are activated

The police will give immediate attention to reports and complaints from private citizens about risk situations such as meetings in homes and streets. The neighbor, hearing noises or seeing an excessive influx of cars and people into a house, could call the police to carry out a control, for example.
On the other hand, it is not foreseen to indicate in the self-certification form the name of the person you are going to visit for privacy reasons.
