No curfew but more smart working (up to 70% of personnel in the public administration), closure of gyms, amateur sports and public events, restrictions on the sale of alcohol and time limits for bars and restaurants (but with the faculty for the Regions to modulate them as they see fit), but hairdressers, beauty centres, theaters and cinemas remain open. These are broadly the novelties of the government's new anti-Covid squeeze that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will personally illustrate in detail today. A very complex operation that has often fueled controversies between ministers and between central government and the Regions but which, given the worrying surge in infectionscan wait no longer.
Meanwhile, during the night, the Council of Ministers has launched a new 40 billion economic package (17 thanks to EU aid and 23 in deficit) which extends the tax relief in the South and the tax credit on investments. The maneuver - which is contained in the Budget Law and in the Budget Planning Document to be sent to Brussels - also provides the hiring of 2021 doctors in 30 fixed-term to deal with the health emergency. Stop foreclosures and tax bills for the whole of 2020. Extension of layoffs until March 2021 and prohibition of firing for companies that use it. The freeze on layoffs will last until January XNUMX next. Single allowance for children. However, the use of the Mes remains unaffected.
