ROME. From December 21 to January 6, travel between different regions (including those to or from the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano) will be prohibited, except for trips motivated by proven work needs, situations of need or health reasons. On December 25 and 26, 2020 and January 1, 2021, travel between different municipalities will also be prohibited, with the same exceptions (that is, proven work needs, situations of need or health reasons). It will always be possible, even from December 21 to January 6, to return to one’s residence, domicile or home. The decree-law introduces urgent changes in emergency legislation to deal with the pandemic.
Fifty days of validity
The duration of the anti-Covid measures ranges from thirty to fifty days. From December 21 to January 6, it will be prohibited to travel to second homes that are located in a region or autonomous province other than one’s own. On December 25 and 26 and January 1, the prohibition will also apply to second homes located in a municipality other than yours. Regardless of the classification in risk levels and scenarios of the different regions and autonomous provinces, new specific measures may be introduced throughout the national territory.
Restaurants and shops
You can have lunch in the restaurant on December 25 and 26, New Year’s Eve and Epiphany. At night, however, they will be closed due to the current curfew. Stores will be able to stay open on public holidays for purchases until 9:00 pm, to allow customers to “spread out” for as long as possible and reduce the risk of meetings. The shopping centers will be open on weekends until December 20, but will be closed during the Christmas season.
Quarantine for those returning from abroad
The measure, valid from December 20, is designed especially for those who intend to go skiing in Switzerland – which has kept the slopes open – or in European Union countries, such as Slovenia and Austria, with the latter country announcing its opening . the slopes for residents only. Cruises prohibited. After the meeting of the Council of Ministers, work continued on the draft of the dpcm with the measures that will be in effect as of December 4. In the council of ministers there was a long debate on the measures, illustrated by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. The plant was substantially confirmed, compared to what was said yesterday by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza in Parliament, but the details of the measures were discussed until the last to review the draft. The text was sent to the regional presidents, to make their assessments, before a new confrontation with the government before signing.
Hard line
Therefore, the hard line is being produced on blocking movements between regions during the holidays. The request to allow meetings based on degree of kinship fails. The Dpcm, in fact, allows you to travel to return to your home, whether it is residence or domicile or simple “home” and for “situations of need”, which must be better detailed. And it is under the specter of permitted exceptions that a lengthy showdown took place in the Council of Ministers, with Italy alive to support a softer line. Today the confrontation with the Regions will resume.
