Contagion restrictions, a new decree for after Epiphany
Prohibition of moving between regions, restaurants and bars only for take-out over the next weekend and again the ban on hosting more than two people at home, including friends and relatives. It is an Italy that continues along the lines of the restrictions already programmed for the Christmas holidays, the one hypothesized by the government and the technicians for the aftermath Epiphany. After the summit met by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, with Minister Boccia, the heads of delegation of the majority and the Technical-Scientific Committee, the idea of a 'bridge measure' between 7 and 15 January.
There are two proposals: that of keeping the existing measures in force (orange on weekdays and red on weekends) until January 15, the expiry date of the last Dpcm. The second option would be to go back in yellow zone for 7 and 8 January, and then move on to the measures of orange band on the weekend of 9 and 10 of the month. The next step, based on the contagion curve, should be to assign the bands for the following week. Also from the rumors that circulate, for municipalities under 5 thousand inhabitants it will still be possible to travel within 30 km, with the exception of the provincial capital.
A new decree and the demands of the regions
The presidents of the regions are almost all in agreement on the provision of strict measures also for the coming weeks as long as they are not changed from week to week. And as long as i refreshments. From the rumors that are circulating it seems that several governors would also agree on the restrictive modification of the RT to access the areas.
Return to the benches, eternal dilemma
It now seems certain that elementary and middle schools will resume lessons in person from 7 January. While on the reopening of high schools, various governors deem it appropriate to wait for the outcome of the monitoring scheduled for January 8th.
