Moving Italy's COVID-19 curfew back
from 10 pm to 11 or 12 pm is a political decision, the head of
the Higher Health Council (CSS), Franco Locatelli, said
Wednesday.
There have long been widespread calls, which the government has
so far resisted, to shift the curfew back to allow bars and
restaurants to be able to work properly in the evening.
"There is scope to move the curfew back and Friday's (weekly
monitoring) data will help reach a decision," said Locatelli.
"But the decision whether to move it back to 23:00 or 24:00 will
be up to the government".
The curfew issue will top the agenda of a summit between the
government and the regions later Wednesday.
Then on Monday a final decision is expected from the virus
'control room' led by Premier Mario Draghi.
