The fear is concrete: the week before December 21, and specifically Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 are scheduled black stamp days on the roads, in stations and airports, with a very high risk of meetings that could frustrate the efforts of containment of the coronavirus. In Rome, the situation could be critical. Usually in the week between Christmas me New Year the city empties, because many inhabitants come from other regions – especially from the South – and return with their families to Holidays.

Hotel reservations are few: only 80 of the 1,200 hotels in the city will be open during the holidays. A circumstance determined above all by the absence of tourists from abroad due to quarantines required after arrival. Worrying are the possible concentrations in the stations, Termini and Tiburtina in the first place, and in the airports. While finding a seat on the train between December 18-20 is becoming a mission impossible, some data on departures comes from Alitalia: at the two Roman airports there has already been a 50 percent increase in bookings for the week between 14 and 20 December, before the travel ban between regions. And the percentage increases day by day. On the travel ban dates, that is, from December 21 to January 6, reservations continue to increase by 13%. These are probably people who will have to return to their residence, always allowed from Dpcm, as well as for work or health reasons -, to help parents or relatives in difficulties, or for “cunning” who will try to circumvent the prohibitions.
SICILY
The most requested flight destination, in all of Italy, is Sicily. According to forecasts, at least 60 thousand Italians will arrive on the island to spend the holidays. And the region begins to prepare to avoid a new and dramatic wave of infections: rapid tests are planned at the “Vincenzo Bellini” airports in Catania and “Falcone e Borsellino” in Palermo, at the Messina train station and at the landing of carriers. Seafarers. If the airports are working to clean all the arriving passengers, Messina is considering organizing a drive-in at the Rada San Francesco snake, dedicated to motorists disembarked from Villa. As for trains, long-distance trains could stop at platform 10 and travelers could be cleaned before leaving the airport. But there will also be police controls on movements from one region to another and, from December 21 to January 6, especially in homes and residences.
THE CONTROLS
In fact, the most consistent part of the outgoing flow is expected by private means. Meanwhile, in city pharmacies that run rapid tests – especially in big cities – the rush to reserve tampons for the days around December 20 is already underway, in the hope of safe travel. In a circular sent to the prefects, the Ministry of the Interior issued the guidelines: “Attention will be paid to the controls carried out in the main traffic arteries and in the different nodes of the transport networks, especially in consideration of the derived movements of the particular restrictions provided by Dpcm “. The controls will also be carried out by helicopters and drones. Attention, in particular, will focus on compliance with the curfew and travel ban, with random controls and closer inspections on holidays and weekends, and with monitoring of streets and squares to avoid concentrations. The same circular clarifies: “Among the situations of need, for which the use of the self-declaration form is not affected, the need to communicate with family or friends, who are not self-sufficient, for the purpose of helping them.”

PUGLIA
Make a sacrifice: stay where you are. Mass exodus must be avoided, because, without due precaution and going to live together immediately, it can cause the ignition of many outbreaks ». This is the appeal of the governor of Apulia, Michele Emiliano. According to the forecasts for the holidays they should arrive in Apulia about 30 thousand people. The worrying thing is the sold already registered in these days on board the trains that connect the stations of the main cities in the north and center of Italy with Puglia and Salento. The booking peak is, of course, between December 18 and 20. The president of the region also recalled the first phase of the pandemic and the mass exodus of early March: between March 7 and 8, Emilano had to issue a mandatory quarantine order for those who arrived. A system that could be replicated for Christmas.
The governor of the Lombardy, Attilio Fontana: “On December 19, or on the weekend before the blockade of movements between regions, there could be an exodus from Milan people to family members, second homes and holiday resorts ”. Fontana asks to speak: “We risk reliving the night between March 7 and 8. The risk is that. But as we can foresee it, we must equip ourselves so that there is more attention at the airport and at the station. It will be necessary to speak with the prefectures, police forces to avoid that in those days more damages are created than those that are tried to avoid with Christmas Dl.
