What will this Christmas be like? The first in which we are asked to recognize the value of distance. The first, while the whole world is fighting the pandemic. In Italy it has just entered into force, from 19 December, the Christmas decree with the new anti-contagion measures, which they provide the national red zone, on holidays and days before holidays from 24 December to 6 January. While the national orange zone will be in effect on 28, 29, 30 December and 4 January 2021.
«At Christmas I still don’t know what shift I will do in the hospital so I will prepare something and according to the shift I will eat with my little Matteo and my partner.
Then a nice parlor game », tells us Elisabetta, who works as a social health worker in the emergency room of Imola, in Emilia Romagna.
«My whole family will greet you in person as soon as this is over. I am always afraid of being able to infect or be a carrier of something. Common sense tells me to protect my loved ones right now. Many do not know what it means to die in isolation. There is so much suffering and I consider myself very lucky. So my Christmas will be simple and accompanied by a prayer for those who suffer ».
Before entering the emergency room, Elizabeth worked in a home for the elderly. She is used, if we can say so, to spend Christmas away from her loved ones. “My son understands and knows my work. Perhaps he is more concerned about me, but the time we spend together is pleasant. When we are at home between board games, lots of pampering and movies everything passes. We are lucky”.
Those who work in health facilities often have not seen their family for months. Elisabetta sees her mother only from a distance. «My dad is gone, she lives in two houses of me, she needs shopping, little things. I avoid contact and leave everything on the landing. “
In the last few hours, a new appeal has been launched by the white coats for a national lockdown to be imposed on the whole country during the holidays. “Christmas with the elderly or the sick is not forgotten. You read in the eyes of the patients gratitude but also sadness for memories of the past, then a little popular music, lots of hugs and everything passed. I as an operator lived love. I felt the need to value affection, I went home serene. I felt lucky to be able to live, to give a smile. Each glance is a life story ».
