“Moving only for work, health and study reasons, do not invite people who are not from the family unit home”

“The latest epidemiological data we have analyzed cannot leave us indifferent. The analysis signals rapid growth with the consequence that the stress on the national health system has reached worrying levels “, said Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte at a press conference from Palazzo Chigi. “We must do everything possible to protect health and the economy. Hence the need for more restrictive measures, which will come into effect this evening until November 24th “.

HERE IS THE NEW DPCM

“The closure of theaters, concert halls and cinemas was a particularly difficult decision, among others”, the premier said again. “The goal is clear, we want to keep the epidemiological curve under control because only in this way will we be able to manage the pandemic without being overwhelmed by it. But this means offering an efficient response and adequate care to all citizens and avoiding a generalized lockdown, the country can no longer afford it “.”We have not introduced a curfew, it is not a word we love but we recommend that you move only for reasons of work, health, study and necessity. and not to receive people who are not from the family unit at home “.

“Italy is a great country, we proved it last spring, we made it in the first phase and we will make it even now”, explained Conte, underlining that the measures taken now serve to avoid closing everything for Christmas. “In this way we will be able to face December and the Christmas holidays with greater serenity”.

“The refreshment points will arrive directly on the current account of the interested parties by bank transfer from the Revenue Agency”.

We are confident that in November we will suffer a little but then we will return to breathe“. “New grants will arrive.

We would like to arrive at Christmas with a calm disposition”, explained the Prime Minister. If the measures are enough? “I hope so, but it is certainly not that at Christmas, even if the first doses of vaccines arrive, we will all be able to hug each other and have parties and parties. But the important thing is to arrive calmly”, he adds.

“There may have been mistakes, you can always do better but there have been no underestimations. We have worked on all fronts. When you face a war, you can’t say you haven’t done enough to win. The Italians themselves are probably more whipped than in the first wave. But if we are a strong country we will prove it even now, the accounts are made in the end and we will make it again this time “, said Conte.” The virus runs a lot and therefore we must be ready and flexible to intervene. But we cannot blame the government for being distracted and lowering the attention threshold: I remember that before the summer everyone, including the public opinion, thought they had passed the pandemic while the government asked for an extension of the state of emergency, he said. that we could not let our guard down and continued to buy masks and respirators. “

“A new one-off monthly allowance will be offered for seasonal tourism, entertainment, intermittent sports jobs“, then announced the premier.

“The closure of theaters and cinemas is a pain – so on Twitter the Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, Dario Franceschini -. But today the absolute priority is to protect the life and health of all, with every possible measure. We will work to ensure that the closure is as short as possible and how and more than the past months we will support businesses and cultural workers “.

“Together with the more stringent and uniform measures that will arrive with the Dpcm – the deputy minister of the Economy announces on Fb Laura Castelli -, there will immediately be economic support for those categories that will suffer limitations to stop the spread of the virus.
