In December, new rules will be valid to combat the spread of the coronavirus during the Christmas period. But at the same time, we will take advantage of the opportunity to encourage consumption and try to give breath to the economy, put to the test by the pandemic. Among the measures, announced by the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, at a press conference, there is also an extension of the opening hours of the shops. The christmas shopping it will be able to go on until 9 pm: in this way not only will commercial activities be supported, which in several cases in recent weeks have been forced to close, but it will also guarantee a further staggering of customers and therefore less risk of crowding. “In connection with Christmas shopping, to support the commercial activities of a sector that is in great conference, and also to help families, we have decided to start the Italia cashless plan immediately.“, said Conte.
Who also communicated: “The extra Christmas cashback will start on December 8th, which provides that those who pay with cards and apps will have a 10% refund on all purchases made by 31 December. Everything, even buying bread, pasta, meat. Or by buying toys for our children, or by going to the hairdresser. There will be a refund that can reach up to 150 euros. And this, attention, does not apply to the family, but to the single person, so it can also be combined within the family“
“We wanted to avoid that this advantage measure was also valid for online purchases. This is a time of the pandemic where we have all helped to increase online shopping. But now we have to favor commercial businesses, shopkeepers and proximity businesses“, added Conte. Who later recalled how”to participate in the program you must download the app I identifying with your electronic identity card or SPID“. And he concluded:”It all sounds very complicated, but you will see that it is very simple“.
