From May 4th until May 17th, individual movement within the regional territory is allowed to reach residences other than the primary one, including second homes for vacation, for carrying out maintenance and repair activities necessary for ensuring safety and preserving property. Finally, starting tomorrow, maintenance and repair activities for recreational boats are also permitted.
Furthermore, starting tomorrow, April 29, and until May 17, the following activities will be permitted: takeout services for restaurants, pubs, ice cream shops, and pastry shops, with the obligation to maintain a distance of one meter; the activity of pet grooming establishments, provided that the service is carried out by appointment and without direct contact between people. Additionally, starting tomorrow and until May 17, the opening of cemeteries is allowed “conditional on the adoption of organizational measures to avoid gatherings of visitors,” as stated in the ordinance. Finally, from May 4, a home quarantine requirement will be in effect for those returning to Puglia from outside the region. The previous measure signed last March by President Michele Emiliano has expired, and this measure is now being renewed. From May 4, in fact, the new Dpcm authorizes travel between regions only for work and health reasons. Furthermore, the national decree also permits “returning to one’s home, residence, or domicile.” Therefore, for those returning to Puglia for the reasons specified in the Dpcm, the region imposes certain obligations: first, to inform their general practitioner or the local health authority of their return; then to observe a home stay with self-isolation for at least 14 days, with a prohibition on social contacts; and finally, to remain reachable for any possible surveillance activities and to notify authorities in case of symptoms that may indicate a coronavirus infection.
