The restrictions and rules for containing coronavirus infections during the Christmas and New Year holidays, from December 24 to January 6, are quite complicated. They were decided by the government overlapping DPCM and statutory decrees, they are intertwined with others in force in recent months, and above all there are several unclear aspects in the official texts, which the government must clarify with the answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) .
With the decree of December 18, the government divided the holidays into two types, orange and red, with different measures and restrictions. Red days are weekends, holidays, and days before holidays, the others are orange. There are rules that always apply, others only for red days or only for orange, and exceptions and exceptions (especially that of visits) that will always apply, even on holidays. On December 21, 22 and 23 the previous rules in force in your region apply, which are all yellow except Abruzzo and Campania, with the addition that you cannot move between regions.
Below are the rules that will apply from December 24 to January 6.
Things that always apply
• There is a curfew from 10 pm to 5 am New Years Eve will last until 7 am.
• You cannot move between regions, except for work, health or necessity reasons.
• You can go to stores that are open.
• You can always go back to own residence, domicile or domicile. The latter is considered the place where you live “with a certain continuity and stability”: therefore, land people who usually live in the same house can get together, even moving between regions.
• You can travel once a day, from 5 to 22 hours, to visit a single home (of any person, friends or family) that must be in your region. This “visitation exemption” is the one announced on Friday and applies to the red and orange days. On this journey there may be a maximum of two, possibly accompanied by minors under 14, disabled or not self-sufficient without restriction of number.
The decree establishes the limit to two people “more than those who already live there”, referring to the house that is visited. It is not clear what it means: that is, if several groups of two people can arrive at the same house at the same time, or if in fact a limit of two people is established on which can be received at home. There’s also one other thing about the exemption that is unclear: whether the home you visit can change overnight or whether it should stay the same for all holidays. The government should clarify in the FAQ.
• You can always do sports and physical activity, individually, outdoors and respecting distances.
• There are masses.
Things that only apply on red days
• All movements are prohibited, both within and outside the municipality itself. Except for work, health or necessity, and except for those that are justified by the “exemption of visits”, therefore to go to another home, respecting the established limits. Self-certification is required.
Things that only apply on orange days
• You can move freely within your municipality, without self-certification.
• You can leave your municipality only for work, study, necessity, health, to use a service (such as a store that remains open) that is not available in your city or for a regional move that falls under the “visitation exemption”.
• Those who live in a municipality with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants can move freely within a 30-kilometer radius, however, without moving to a provincial capital.
Things that are not yet understood
• If the house that two can visit, once a day, must be one during the entire vacation period or it must be only one within a day, and therefore can change from one day to the next.
• If the limit of two people (with the exception of minors under 14 years, disabled or not self-sufficient) also applies as a limit of people who can be received at home, or not. That is, in other words: if several groups of two people can move to the same house on the same day, or if a maximum of two people can do it.
• How it will work for those who want to go to a second home in their region (more on this later).
The government should clarify these doubts in the frequently asked questions.
Bars and restaurants
• Take away food service is always allowed until 10:00 pm, home deliveries have no time limit.
• Bars and restaurants are always closed for on-site consumption.
Stores
• The essentials are always open. The others are open on orange days, closed on red days.
Second box
• It is always forbidden to reach them if they are in other regions.
• The DPCM of December 3 allows you to reach those in the same region, every day except December 25 and 26 and January 1. In the regions of the orange zone, therefore in Abruzzo and Campania until December 23, the same DPCM prohibits reaching houses outside the municipality itself.
• You can always join those from the same municipality.
• In the newspapers there is a clarification from the presidency of the Council that includes trips to second homes in the region itself in the “visitation exemption”, which would allow you to go there always, even on orange days. But there is no DPCM or decree, so in fact it is something that is not yet known. The government should clarify in the FAQ.
