We are working
on moving between regions at Christmas,
but if we continue like this we will no longer have red zones at the end of the month
. However, the Christmas period requires ad hoc measures. Social occasions typical of the Christmas period are not possible. We cannot allow ourselves indiscriminate holidays in the snow. Even for the ski lifts, the problem of the protocol is one thing but everything that revolves around holidays in the snow is uncontrollable. And with Merkel and Macron in Europe we are working on a common European protocol. It is not possible to allow holidays on the snow, we cannot afford it ": this is how Prime Minister

The deviation we have requested is dedicated to them ".

Conte
-. It is right that they do so because otherwise they will damage their own economies ".
"We will try to open the schools before Christmas, we are working for this,"

prime
minister.
"Tomorrow we have a Council of Ministers, tomorrow we have to close this game", said Conte, answering a question
about the health commissioner in Calabria.
"A free and democratic state cannot enter homes and say how many people sit at the table. We want to reduce sociability but allow the tradition of gifts that are very dear to us. In this sense, it is counterproductive to limit shop hours", said Conte to half past eight explaining that the government will try to "expand" the opening hours of the shops.
