There is still some uncertainty about family gatherings at home, around a rich table set. Here's what the latest Dpcm predicts
It is perhaps the most recurring question for a few days. The answer? Nì. So let's try to clarify.
With the season moving forward towards numerous holidays, in addition to the consolidated Sunday habit, the opportunities to spend happy hours around a nice table with relatives and friends are becoming more and more numerous. On Halloween night, the bridge for the Immaculate Conception and then Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year, Epiphany. In short: party, joy and lots of good food. But…
The holidays at the time of Covid
But we must deal with Covid and with the measures to counter it that the government has put in place. With the Dpcm of 13 October of the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, the prohibition of private parties there is, but only halfway. In short, they will be prohibited private parties in public places, but what about the housing, even in compliance with the Constitution, there are no prohibitions, but only one strong recommendation to avoid them and, in any case, not to exceed the number of you are invited. Therefore, six non-cohabitants can be added to the core of residents, who can be friends or relatives. The limit of six is used to distinguish what is a simple family dinner (or with friends), from what could be a party, which is not prohibited, but strongly not recommended. Obviously, all the prevention rules remain in force: wash your hands often, use masks and keep the distance always and, above all, at the table, since at that moment, to eat, you will have to remove the mask.
Since these are simple recommendations, and not prohibitions, no one will come to check and there are no penalties. It will be up to the participants' common sense (common sense, therefore, of all of us) to behave in ways that do not endanger our health and that of others.
