There is a limit of four additional people (previously there were two) compared to those already living together, in addition to minors and people with disabilities or non self-sufficient living together.
THE CURFEW
Despite the pressure from the League and some Region Governors, who asked to postpone the curfew by an hour, setting it at 23pm, the Government confirmed the time currently in force. At 22 pm everyone at home. The League controversially abstained on the confirmation of the curfew until 22pm and it will do the same in Parliament when the decree is voted on
