Coronavirus: from discos to flights, towards extension on July 31st

2020-07-14T01:04:42.693Z


The obligation to wear a mask in closed places remains in force. Probable extension also for the ban on entry from 14 countries. Assembly ban (ANSA)


The doors of discos, fairs and conferences are still closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic: for the opening they will have to wait again, at least until July 31st. Until the same date, gatherings will also be prohibited and it will be mandatory to wear a mask in closed places accessible to the public. In essence, July 31 is the new deadline to which all the restrictive measures contained in the Dpcm of June 11 can be extended. The proposal, according to sources from the Ministry of Health, is contained in the new Dpcm that Minister Roberto Speranza is preparing to present on Tuesday 14 July, the day on which the measures passed on 11 June will expire.
    The measure that the Health Minister is preparing to present is different from the extension of the state of emergency beyond the deadline currently scheduled for 31 July. Again according to sources of the Ministry of Health, in the coming days the government will have to decide whether and how to extend the state of emergency.
    The Dpcm that Speranza is preparing to present on Tuesday could instead contain the confirmation of the ordinances adopted by the same minister regarding the ban on entry for those who have stayed in the last 14 days in the 13 countries that are below the minimum safety coefficients relating to the percentage of incidence and resilience coefficient, i.e. the ability of the health system to sustain a sudden emergency such as that of the pandemic. It is not known, however, so far, whether the list may undergo some changes since the latest assessments are underway on the countries to be added or removed.
    With regard to the measures on the ban on entry, as far as we learn, the new Dpcm could also provide for the possibility of immediate repatriation.
    In general, the measures contained in the document that Speranza is preparing to present extend all measures envisaged by the Presidential Decree of 11 June until 31 July.
    Even in places of worship, measures must be taken to avoid gatherings. Cinemas, theaters and auditoriums will continue to have pre-assigned and spaced seats, respecting the distance of at least one meter (with the exception of cohabitants) and with a maximum of one thousand spectators for outdoor performances and 200 indoors.
    Also until 31 July, the safety protocols will remain in force as a condition for the opening of production and commercial activities, ensuring that the interpersonal distance of at least one meter is respected, that the entrances take place in a delayed manner and that it is prevented from stopping in the most of the time needed to purchase the goods. The obligation also continues throughout Italy to wear the mask in closed places accessible to the public, including means of transport and on all occasions where it is not possible to continuously guarantee the maintenance of the safety distance. Furthermore, the application of the penal sanction for those who violate the mandatory quarantine remains valid.
    A measure, this, judged by the ministry to be indispensable in this phase of increase in import infections.
    Children are allowed to play outdoors, provided that they are safe, and motor and sports activities are permitted outdoors and in gyms, respecting the safety distance of at least two meters. Finally, bars, pubs, restaurants, ice cream shops and patisseries can continue to carry out their activities provided that the regions and autonomous provinces of reference have ascertained their compatibility with the trend of the epidemiological situation.
