The obligation to use masks even outdoors expires today, January 31, the provision adopted to counter the spread of the coronavirus and in particular of the Omicron variant. But an extension could come out of the Council of Ministers convened for today, indeed it is actually considered "probable".

Furthermore, from tomorrow, in the absence of an extension, the ballrooms could reopen, as well as concerts in the square: all bans issued before New Year's Eve. It should be borne in mind, however, that the government could decide to extend these measures until March 31, the day of expiry of the state of emergency.

“I am convinced - said yesterday Gianni Indino, president of the union of dance clubs in Emilia Romagna - that new restrictions will come from the government for discos. But I would also like indications that allow us to plan: that is, not a 15-day extension but the certainty that it will open on February 15th. Indeed, possibly February 14, Valentine's Day: it would be a good sign. "" We are available to create the conditions to reopen safely. We have always respected the rules and guidelines and will continue to do so ", he added.

Then there are the rules on the colors of the areas, on quarantines and on the school (for example a possible alignment between what is in force for high school and elementary school).

The color system, on the other hand, seems certain that it will be revised, as requested on several occasions by the governors of the Regions. Those with the super Green pass will be able to access any activity in all areas except the red one, but you have to decide what to grant to the latter.
