On the evening of the 26th local time, Italian Prime Minister Conte announced the prevention and control measures for Italy in the second phase of the epidemic after May 4.
The new epidemic prevention and control decree is effective from May 4 to 17. Regarding travel restrictions, there is no need for personal declarations for inter-city mobility within a large area. You can visit relatives and friends while maintaining a safe distance and wearing a mask, but family gatherings and cross-region activities are prohibited. The park green space will be reopened, but crowds are still prohibited.
Regarding the resumption of business and the restoration of business activities, the government decided that enterprises allowed to resume work from May 4th may start rework preparations from April 27th. After May 18, commercial retail, museums and exhibitions will be reopened. Bars, restaurants, barber shops, beauty salons and other business premises opened on June 1.
Conte said that the school continued to suspend classes based on expert opinion, and the start of school may lead to another outbreak within one or two weeks. Regarding the use of masks, the government has not made clear the national uniform regulations, but Conte said that it will officially price the masks and cancel the VAT of the masks. The price of each surgical mask is about 0.5 euro.
Conte also said that a new "national unblocking" decree will be issued to give enterprises strong support, create more jobs, and extend the time for the issuance of income guarantees.
At the EU level, Conte believes that the "recovery fund" is beneficial to Italy and is a historic achievement. Political principles should be immediately translated into technical work to avoid countries such as Italy incurring more debt and to receive financial assistance immediately.
Conte warned that the epidemic may rebound again and should bear such risks. If you love Italy, you must avoid viral infections. Even if you are with loved ones, you must observe the precautions. The only way to coexist with the virus is to maintain a social distance of at least one meter. (Reporter Yin Xin from the Main Station)
