The scientists, this time, all agree. The numbers of the pandemic do not allow distractions, “they do not allow us to go from the mitigation phase to the containment phase,” says Silvio Brusaferro, the president of the Higher Institute of Health. The social gatherings in the cities for Christmas shopping and trips for the holidays are a real threat, so in the government the line of rigor continues to prevail on what we can do. from December 21 to January 6, a window of maximum attention in the context of the restrictions already imposed with the Dpcm of December 3.
Small Municipalities
A hot topic is represented by movements between smaller municipalities, those with a maximum of 15,000 inhabitants, and that limit each other on Christmas Day and December 31. The discussion is underway, for now there are limited concessions: possible exceptions only for movements between small towns of less than 5,000 inhabitants and a few kilometers between them, there is no possibility of opening up to mobility within the province or between one city and another .
“The two weeks between Christmas and New Year worry me and if the message ‘free everyone’ passes, we will fall into a dangerous phase again in January and February”, reiterates the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, supported by the analysis of experts that point out a number of novelties. cases and an incidence “still too high”. On Wednesday a motion from the center-right is scheduled in the Senate that aims to annul the prohibitions and by that date the executive will present its proposals.
For now, these are the rules to respect: those who will have to move to Italy for the holidays at the end of 2020 will have to do so before December 20 or after January 7, either to go to second homes or for tourism. The exceptions are kept only for specific cases, assistance to non-self-sufficient separated people who are with minor children, family reunification in the usual home. Here are some answers to the frequently asked questions (Faqs) that are listed on the government website.
Assistance and visits
Can those who work or study far away go home to their families? Yes, if the place chosen for the reunification coincides with the one where you have your residence, domicile or domicile. In addition: “People who for work reasons reside in a place other than that of their spouse or partner, but who meet with him regularly and periodically at the same address, may move to regroup during the period between December 21 of January 6, 2021 in the same house where they usually meet ».
Is it possible to travel between December 21 and January 7 to assist non-self-sufficient people? Yes, if the necessary assistance is not ensured through other subjects present in the same Municipality or Region. In any case, it is not possible to travel in a greater number than the people strictly necessary to provide assistance: “No more than one adult relative, possibly accompanied by minors who are usually already attending.”
No visits even to elderly and healthy parents: “Traveling to visit or to go live for a few days with family or friends, including parents, will be possible for everyone only if one moves from one place in the yellow zone to another in the yellow zone, exclusively until December 20 and January 7. From December 21 to January 6, these movements will be allowed, always exclusively between places in the yellow zone, only if you have a residence or domicile or domicile in the autonomous community / province of destination. In any case, On December 25 and 26 and January 1 it will only be possible to travel within the municipality itself. In any case, it will be possible to travel between different municipalities / provinces / regions for work, necessity or health reasons “.
Can separated parents go with their minor children? Yes, in compliance with the provisions of the judge or the agreements with the other parent. These movements “are among those motivated by need, so they are not subject to limitations.”
Vacations and second homes
Is it allowed to travel for tourism? Yes, but only with departure and destination in the yellow area, if the departure takes place before December 20, 2020 or January 7, 2021. It is forbidden to travel for tourism in Italy between December 21 and January 6 . Is it allowed to go to second homes? Yes, as long as you leave your home before December 20 or after January 7. Therefore, if a family moves to a second home in another region before December 20 and one of the members has to return to work in the region of origin for a few days, they will not be able to return to them before January 6. The transfer of the second residence to the workplace in the period from December 21 to January 6 cannot, in fact, be justified for a new return to the second residence, in another region, in the same period. If you intend to vacation together in a second home in a different region, you will need to be at the same location by December 20, 2020.
Can we go to the bar and restaurant in our city? The possibility of keeping open or not until 6 pm with table service depends on the position of the region of belonging in the different risk bands. However, an additional restriction is being studied if the government loosens the travel ban on December 25 and 26 and January 31: restaurants will close for lunch if you can leave the municipalities.
