The DCPM of 22 March 2020 and the new restrictive measures

With the DCPM of March 22, 2020 (“Decree”), the Government sanctioned, on the entire national territory, the “suspension of industrial or commercial production activities”, unless they are organized by means of distance or agile work. The companies concerned may complete the activities necessary for the suspension by March 25th , including the shipment of goods in stock. The Decree also defines the list of about 100 activities that are an exception to the suspension obligation (Annex 1). For these companies, the application of the Protocol of 14 March 2020 on measures to combat and contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the workplace is expressly prescribed. The provisions of the Decree shall take effect from 23 March 2020 until 3 April 2020.
