From 21 December to January 6, 2021, Italians will not be allowed to travel between the country”s 20 regions except for work or health reasons.
However on December 25 and 26, as well as on New Year’s Day, it will be forbidden to move outside of one’s home district, except again for work or health reasons.
Until now, travel has been permitted between so-called “yellow” zones; areas deemed to pose a moderate epidemiological risk compared to others.
