Museums could reopen from Jan. 16 in yellow zone. New dpcm measures under consideration

Potential good news: museums could reopen as of Jan. 16. This is what emerges from rumors after Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte ’s meeting with the majority heads of delegations. According to leaks from sources close to the government, relayed by agencies, it seems that the minister of cultural heritage, Dario Franceschini, has asked for the reopening of museums at least in the regions considered yellow zone: the hypothesis is being considered by the government. It also seems that the possibility of reopening cinemas and theaters is also being discussed, although in this case the road seems more difficult.

However, the measures that emerged from the meeting will have to be discussed with the regions and may not be confirmed. Approval of the new package of measures, which will take effect Jan. 16, is expected on Thursday or Friday. Among other measures, there will be confirmation of the curfew, a ban on movement between orange and red regions (uncertainty, however, on the ban on movement between yellow regions), and the introduction of a takeaway ban for bars starting at 6 p.m. to limit street gatherings such as those seen in recent days is under consideration (there is already talk of “anti-movida” rules). Still all to be seen on schools and sports, where assumptions are more open.
