Italy – No skiing holiday
“Naturally, Christmas is also being considered in Catholic Italy,” says correspondent Mustafa Marghadi. It is still unclear exactly what these will look like. “On December 3, the Italian government will provide more information.”
Normally, many Italians go skiing around Christmas, but the government does not want that this year. That is why the ski areas will almost certainly close. To prevent Italians from going abroad, the country, together with Germany and France, is calling for a joint ski ban.
So far the general message has been: celebrate Christmas with the family as much as possible. Italy is currently divided into three categories, depending on the number of corona infections: red, orange and yellow. A partial lockdown applies in the red regions. The Minister of Health, among others, is calling for a further tightening of the rules for travel between regions during the holidays.
In Italy there is currently a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. People are only allowed outside at night for a valid reason. According to Italian media, the government is considering a later start of the curfew on Christmas Eve so that people can go to midnight mass.
