The Second Decree introduced additional restrictions on certain activities, which are now suspended by order of the authority and provides new guidelines for all other businesses active in Italy.
The new provisions will remain in force until 25 March 2020 and can be extended with a further Prime Minister decree.
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the new provisions. We are however constantly monitoring the situation and will release further updates in case of further developments.
