It is the most important chapter. Yesterday’s Decree has already established that it will be from 21 December to 6 January it is forbidden to move among the regions, even those in the yellow zone. Considering that by that date practically all of Italy will be in the yellow zone, in fact any extra-regional travel will be prohibited.

However, it will always be possible to return to one’s residence, domicile or home. It will not be possible to reach the second house if it is in a different region (yes if it is in the same yellow region instead).

From 4th to 20th December it will instead be possible to move between the yellow regions: so for example on December 19th we will be able to reach the second one in a different region (always yellow) and then we can return home even after December 21st. Whether it will be possible to go to a home remains to be seen single parent. For those in the orange or red zone it is always possible to go home from 4th December to 6th January. Moreover, the draft does not seem to provide for any derogation. We will see the final text.
