Travel ban: How to go from one area to another at Christmas
The ban on moving from prefecture to prefecture will remain in force during the Christmas and New Year period
There are a few days left for Christmas with the government making it clear in all directions that travel from one region to another is prohibited. The curfew across the country will remain in place throughout the holidays until at least January 7th. However, there are only a few cases or exceptions to which one will be allowed to move from region to region at Christmas time.
Therefore, based on what has been announced so far, the transfers between Regional Units that will be allowed exceptionally will concern:
- health reasons
- professional reasons
- return to permanent residence
- family reunification
So, for example, for people who work in a prefecture other than their family and will have to return, of course, with the prescribed procedure, with E1 and E9, or some students who have been trapped before the measures of the lockdown took place, in the city where they study and want to return to their family “.
How to go to a New Year’s Eve family get together.
According to the plan of the government staff, Christmas Eve gatherings have been “transferred” to noon and not the traditional evening. At the gatherings up to 9 people, given that in the evening and specifically from 22:00 to 05:00 the traffic ban applies. Even at noon, however, there are bans and the sms on 13033, which the citizens must observe otherwise they will be faced with fines.
It also states that anyone who wants to leave their home should send an SMS to 13033 with the code 6. That is, the SMS code 6 to 13033 that until now we sent for physical exercise, a walk or taking a pet out.
In the meantime, due to the traffic ban that will normally remain in force throughout the holidays, it will be extremely difficult for someone to leave their home on Christmas and New Year’s Eve or another holiday night because they will not be able to return without justifying why. In simple words, he should either return home by 22:00 or spend the night at their friend’s house.
