A Monday expected by many. On Monday 17 May, the day on which the government control room was set, which could turn into a further step towards the relaxation of some bans and a gradual return to a normalcy marked, always, by data on the trend of infections in parallel to that of vaccine doses administered. After the return to sunbathing on the beaches and swimming in the outdoor pools, the Covid free planes to welcome tourists and the abolition of the quarant for those arriving from European countries or with a high incidence of vaccinated (always or with negative test, double vaccination or after healing), Italy is now waiting for new government decisions.

In fact, tomorrow the executive will decide what the new decree will contain, which should be operational from 24 May. However, everything is closely linked to the report on the trend of the epidemic curve expected next Friday (May 21).
On the executive table there are several issues to be resolved and not necessarily all will be. The premier Mario Draghi he has already announced several times that he wants to bring the country towards “gradual normality”. And with him there is also the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza. But the pressures of various regional governors – especially the center-right – are not few, like those of political leaders headed by Matteo Salvini. Without forgetting the pressures of the different working categories most penalized during the lockdown.
Curfew, weddings, restaurants and bars indoors
The first point remains the curfew time fixed until now from 10pm to 5am. If the attempt to push the hands towards midnight of different catering categories, some presidents of the region and beyond, have found up to now the wall erected by experts, by the premier and by the minister Speranza, tomorrow the control room convened by Draghi , should give the green light to a postponement at 11pm starting May 24.

Curfew at midnight and reopening. Challenge on dates
by Alessandra Ziniti
For the wedding sector, on the other hand, the date to give the green light again to ceremonies and banquets has not yet been set by the government but the orientation always points to 15 June. The organizers of the events have been asking, however, for several days and with force that the green light be given starting from June 1st (the beginning of a month much “loved” by couples to pronounce the long-awaited yes). And to do this, they presented a protocol to ensure maximum safety during receptions using the same scheme for guests as required for travelers: negative swab in the 48 hours prior to the event, double vaccination or being cured of Covid.
No less important game is that of the reopening of indoor restaurants. Set for June 1st, many are pushing for the date to be brought forward by at least a week and for the time set up to now to be extended to 6 pm.
Theme parks, indoor swimming pools
The reopening of the theme parks has been set for the 1st of July even if, as for the other sectors, the entertainment entrepreneurs outside, have been asking for weeks to bring the date forward. While there is still no certain day to return to swimming indoors. While it will be possible to return to training in gyms from June 1st.
Shopping centers
Shopping centers are still closed on weekends. However, adults and children are on a war footing, so much so that in recent days various leopard spot events have been organized along the boot. Possible reopening for them from 22 May even if at the moment there is no certain date. But the same Undersecretary of Health Roberto Sileri, at the beginning of last week, speaking on the microphones of Radio 24 he had underlined: “I do not see why they should not reopen in the short term” and then “as well as the reopening process, I have already agreed to reopen in the restaurants”.
