The decree provides that, until July 31, 2020, the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Health and Regional Authorities can adopt more restrictive measures applicable to all or part of the territory of Italy.

Suspension of all other business will remain in place until April 3, 2020 (see our previous newsletter here).
