Italy will remain in the red zone until Sunday January 3 inclusive. The days of the red zone are those that present the most restrictive measures among those that the government decided with the decree law of December 18, which still allows some freedom of movement thanks to some exceptions. Only on Monday, January 4, Italy will return to the orange zone, while Tuesday, January 5 and Wednesday, January 6, will be the last two days of the national red zone provided by the decree-law for vacation weeks.
The main difference between the days in which Italy is in the red zone compared to those in the orange zone is that in the first case all movements are prohibited, both within and outside the municipality itself. Except for work, health or necessity, and except for those justified by the “visitation exemption”, to go to another home, respecting certain limits. In all these cases, self-certification is required. On January 4, under the orange zone regime, you will be able to move freely within your municipality.
The “visitation exemption” states that you can travel once a day, from 5 to 22, to visit a single home (of anyone, friends or family) that must be in your region. This exemption applies to both 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.
Even on red days, the general rules are still in place, like the curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., which on New Year’s morning is extended until 7 a.m. You cannot move between regions, except for reasons of work, health, necessity, but you can always, therefore, also between regions, return to your residence, domicile or home. The latter is considered the place where you live “with a certain continuity and stability”: therefore, people who usually live in the same house can get together.
Going to the stores is a valid justification for moving: those that sell food and basic necessities, supermarkets, pharmacies and parapharmacies, kiosks, tobacconists, laundries, barbers and hairdressers will remain open.
It is also allowed to always go to second homes if they are in the region itself, but only to a family unit, and only from 5 to 22. You can always do sports and physical activity, individually, outdoors and respecting distances. Masses will be celebrated. The bars and restaurants are closed to consumption on the spot, but they can carry out take-away food service, always allowed until 10:00 p.m., while home deliveries have no time limit.

The restrictions and regulations to contain coronavirus infections during the Christmas and New Year holidays began on December 24 and will end on January 6, and are the result of an overlap of Prime Minister’s Decree and legislative decrees, which has led to some generalization confusion. As of January 7, the Prime Minister’s Decree (Prime Minister’s Decree) of December 3, with the division of the regions into three colors (yellow, orange and red), will re-enter into force.
