No compulsory lockdown, but it is "strongly advised" for everyone not to travel, by public or private means of transport, except, of course, "for proven work or study needs, for health reasons, for situations of necessity or to carry out activities or use services that have not been suspended and are not available in that municipality" — exactly as was the case during last spring's lockdown. And then:

• gyms and swimming pools, wellness and thermal centres to close, after the 7-day observation period granted by the government
• distance learning strengthened in secondary schools
• no nightlife: all venues will close at 18:00
• cinemas and theatres closed
• sport permitted only at professional level and without spectators

Un dolore la chiusura di teatri e cinema. Ma oggi la priorità assoluta è tutelare la vita e la salute di tutti, con ogni misura possibile. Lavoreremo perché la chiusura sia più breve possibile e come e più dei mesi passati sosterremo le imprese e i lavoratori della cultura

These are the main contents of the new decree of the Presidency of the Council, which Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signed overnight, and which contains new measures to contain the spread of coronavirus, which over recent days has grown exponentially, reaching 19,644 new infections and 151 deaths in the single day of Saturday 24 October. The coronavirus dpcm will be in force until 24 November.

Among the other new measures introduced by the coronavirus dpcm, there is the closure of theme and amusement parks, the suspension of all sporting events and competitions — including non-contact ones — except those of a competitive nature and sporting competitions recognised by Coni, the national Olympic committee, which will in any case resume taking place behind closed doors, without an audience. Open-air public demonstrations will still be permitted, but only in a static form: sit-ins are allowed, marches are not. All public competitions are suspended.

Distance learning up to 75 per cent in secondary schools

There are also developments on schooling: the first cycle of education will remain in-person, whilst "second-level secondary school institutions shall adopt flexible forms in the organisation of teaching activities, increasing recourse to integrated digital learning, for a share equal to 75 per cent of activities, further adjusting the management of entry and exit times for pupils, including through the possible use of afternoon shifts and stipulating that entry shall in no case take place before 9:00".

A heavy hand on entertainment and hospitality

As regards recreational activities, the dpcm suspends theatrical performances, concerts and film screenings, including outdoors, as well as closing gaming and betting halls. Conferences, congresses and other events are also suspended, with the obvious exception of those taking place remotely. Museums, however, are spared: they may remain open, but only with controlled access, such that visitors can maintain a distance of at least one metre from one another.

A lengthy section concerns catering businesses. From Monday 26 October, bars, pubs, restaurants, ice-cream parlours and pastry shops will remain open only from 5:00 in the morning until 18:00. Table service is permitted for a maximum of four people, but all must be from the same household. Contrary to what was provided in last week's dpcm, after 18:00 the consumption of food and beverages in public places and places open to the public is prohibited (except in hotels, but only for guests of the establishment). Home delivery will be permitted, as will takeaway until midnight, with a ban on consumption on the premises or in the surrounding area.
