Here are the news of the anti Covid Dpcm for bars, restaurants, schools, universities, sports, fairs and conferences

What does the anti Covid Dpcm provide for bars, restaurants, schools, universities, sports, fairs and conferences

The possibility for the mayors (who protest for the indeterminacy and the lack of skills and means) to close after 9.00 pm streets and squares of the nightlife at risk of gatherings, restrictions on catering, staggered admissions to high schools, the prohibition for amateur contact sports, all in order to "protect health and the economy" and in the hope of avoiding a new generalized lockdown.

The new Dpcm, signed last night by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and published in the Official Gazette, introduces new rules "for the containment and management" of the Covid-19 epidemic, in force from today until November 13. The only exception concerns the rules that strengthen distance learning and staggered admissions to high schools, which are introduced from Wednesday 21 October to give schools time to organize themselves.

Here are the main points of the new decree of the President of the Council of Ministers :

NEWS FOR BARS AND RESTAURANTS

The provision provides that "the activities of catering services (including bars, pubs, restaurants, ice cream parlors, pastry shops) are allowed from 5.00 to 24.00 with consumption at the table, and with a maximum of six people per table, and until 18.00 in the absence of consumption at the table. Catering with home delivery is always allowed in compliance with the hygienic-sanitary rules for both packaging and transport activities, as well as, up to 24.00, catering with take-away, with a ban on consumption on site or nearby. The activities of the canteens and continuous catering on a contractual basis continue to be allowed, guaranteeing an interpersonal safety distance of at least one meter ". However, "food and beverage outlets in the service and refueling areas along the motorways remain open". It is mandatory for exhibitors to display a sign at the entrance to the venue stating the maximum number of people admitted to the venue at the same time, based on the protocols and guidelines in force.

THE ANTI-MOVIDA RULES IN THE HANDS OF THE MAYORS

In the text of the Dpcm, unlike what Conte did last night in the press conference presenting the new anti-Covid measures, there is no explicit reference to the mayors, but they will be responsible for introducing a sort of mini -copfew for nightlife places at risk of crowds. In "streets or squares in urban centers, where congestion situations can be created, closure to the public can be arranged after 9.00 pm, without prejudice to the possibility of access and outflow to legitimate businesses and private homes" .

WHAT WILL CHANGE FOR HIGH SCHOOLS

The desire to continue the lessons in presence is confirmed, but introducing the possibility of flexible forms of teaching and staggered admissions to high schools, but obligatorily not before 9.00 also to dilute attendance on public transport at peak times. "Without prejudice to the fact that the didactic and educational activities for the first cycle of education and for the educational services for children continue to take place in the presence", the text reads, "to counter the spread of the infection, upon communication to the Ministry of '' education by regional, local or health authorities of critical situations and of particular risk referred to specific territorial contexts, secondary school institutions adopt flexible forms in the organization of teaching activities, increasing the use of integrated digital teaching, which remains complementary to face-to-face teaching ". As regards access to the classrooms, a further "modulation" of the management of pupils' entry and exit times is envisaged, "also through the possible use of afternoon shifts and providing that entry does not take place in any case before 9.00. In order to guarantee the proportionality and adequacy of the measures adopted, the periodic holding of regional and local coordination meetings is promoted ”.

WHAT THE DPCM SAYS ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

"Universities", foresees the Dpcm, "after consulting the Regional University Committee of reference, prepare, based on the progress of the epidemiological framework, plans for the organization of teaching and curricular activities in the presence and at a distance according to the training needs, taking into account the 'evolution of the territorial pandemic framework and of the corresponding health security needs ”. These provisions "apply, as far as compatible, also to institutions of high artistic, musical and dance training".

SPORT, HERE ARE THE NEWS

The Dpcm confirms the stop to contact sports at an amateur level and amateur competitions. The provisions on the number of spectators at sporting events remain unchanged. "The carrying out of contact sports, as identified with the provision of the Minister of Sport, is allowed only for" events and competitions concerning individual and team sports recognized as being of national or regional interest by the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), by the Italian Paralympic Committee (CIP) and by the respective national sports federations, associated sports disciplines, sports promotion bodies, or organized by international sports organizations ". "For these events and competitions", it reads, "the presence of the public is allowed, with a maximum filling percentage of 15% of the total capacity and in any case not exceeding the maximum number of 1,000 spectators for outdoor sports events and of 200 spectators for indoor sporting events ".

NO TO FESTIVALS, FAIRS AND CONFERENCES

The Dpcm orders a ban on "community festivals and fairs". "National and international exhibitions remain permitted, subject to the adoption of Protocols validated by the Technical-Scientific Committee" and "according to organizational measures appropriate to the size and characteristics of the places and such as to guarantee visitors the possibility of respecting the interpersonal distance of at least one meter ". "All conference or congress activities are suspended, with the exception of those that take place remotely", continues the text, "all public ceremonies are held in compliance with the protocols and guidelines in force and on condition that specific measures are ensured suitable for limiting the presence of the public; in public administrations, meetings are held remotely, unless there are justified reasons; it is strongly recommended that private meetings be carried out remotely ".

CONTACT TRACING, WHAT THE DPCM ESTABLISHES

A novelty is the inclusion of the obligation for the ASL to report infections on the Immune App. "In order to make contact tracing more effective through the use of the Immuni App", it is ordered, "the health worker of the Prevention Department of the local health company is obliged, by accessing the Immuni central system, to upload the key code in the presence of a positive case "
