The Lazio Region is evaluating an order to impose the obligation to wear a mask outdoors even in the white area. The measure should be launched next week, perhaps as early as Monday, and in any case before Christmas. The measure under study is due to contain the infections that with the Omicron variant are rising throughout Italy. Lazio for Christmas will remain in the white zone but risk the yellow by the end of the year.

The ordinance that imposes the obligation of outdoor masks, according to what has been learned, will come into force on 23 December. The president of the Lazio Region Nicola Zingaretti thus intends to give greater protection to citizens during the Christmas period when gatherings are more frequent.

The police have temporarily closed a section of Via del Corso to let people flow out and avoid dangerous crowds due to possible infections. The chiiusur is taken from the side of Piazza del Popolo, which is the beginning of Vai del Corso, one of the busiest streets in the capital, especially for Christmas shopping.
