Minister Luciana Lamorgese’s line for New Year’s Eve is rigorous. In an interview with Corriere, the number one of the Interior says that no mistakes will be admitted. “The discos opened last summer have contributed to multiplying the infections from Covid-19. We can no longer afford it, for this we will be inflexible in controls and sanctions ».
As we know it is impossible to prevent house parties, but this does not mean making checks anyway: «We have an impressive deployment of law enforcement agencies and we are also very focused on monitoring the internet to prevent the renting of houses where they can meet without respecting the rules and distancing ».
According to data from the Interior Ministry, citizens respect the rules, but the epidemiological curve does not go down, is there a lockdown risk in January? The minister cannot assure it, but can only wish it. And “the differentiated territorial closures” he says “represent precisely the option to avoid falling back into a total closure of the entire national territory”.
New Year in red: rules and prohibitions
Italy in red zone from today December 31 to January 6, excluding 4
The extension of the 5 to 7 am curfew for tonight only

Yes to dinners, no to dinners: each residential unit can accommodate a maximum of two people (relatives, friends or boyfriends, no matter the type of relationship), in addition to their children, under 14 years of age.
