Decree-Law 25 March 2020, No. 19 Urgent measures to deal with the epidemiological emergency from COVID-19.

DL 19/2020 under Art. 1 increases the list of containment measures previously prescribed by DL 6/2020 to 29 measures that limits and impacts on both individuals and businesses.
Main prohibitive measures are listed as follows: limitation of the movement of people; closing to the public of urban roads, parks, play areas, public villas and gardens or other public spaces; application of the precautionary quarantine measure; limitation or prohibition of meetings or gatherings in places public or open to the public; limitation or suspension of recreational and sport activities; suspension of the educational services for children; limitation or suspension of all commercial retail activities, except those aimed to ensure the availability of agricultural, food and primary necessity products; limitation to the holding of fairs and markets, except of those necessary to ensure the availability of agricultural genres, food and basic necessities.
Implementation of adopted containment measures is defined in Art. 2. They can be adopted by DPCM with the aim to contain and contrast the health risks deriving from the spread of the COVID-19 virus, either on specific parts of the national territory or nation wide, singularly or cumulatively and with the possibility to modulate the increase or decrease of their application according to the epidemiological trend, for predetermined periods, each lasting no more than 30 days, which can be repeated and modified even several times until the end of the state of emergency (31st July 2020). Art. 2 confirmes that the DPCM is the instrument to adopt the containing measures listed in Art. 1 and clarifies that can be adopted after proposal of the Health Minister, having heard the other competent Ministers and, based on the territorial dimension of application, the Presidents of the Regions concerned or the President of the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces (the proposal can come as well from the President of the Region, or of the Conference of the Regions); in cases of extreme necessity and urgency the measures can be adopted by the Minister of Health, but only pending the adoption of the aforementioned DPCM and with limited efficacy until that moment. Art. 2 continues declaring that DPCM 8 March 2020, 9 March 2020, 11 March 2020 and 22 March 2020 remain in force, subject to the express changes and repeals, and the effects already produced are confirmed and that any other measure (which include the urgent Orders issued by the Presidents of the Regions and the Mayors) will continue to apply for 10 days starting from March 26, 2020.
Art. 3 disciplines urgent Regional measures and limits the power of the Presidents of the Regions to specific "situations of aggravated health risk that occurred in their territory" stating that they may continue to impose more restrictive measures but only within the sphere of their activities and without affecting production activities and those of strategic importance for the national economy. The regional provisions, therefore, will not be able to intervene on production activities and on activities of strategic importance for the national economy and will lapse once the subsequent DPCM has been issued.
Art. 5 abrogates DL 6/2020 converted by L 13/2020 with the exception of Art. 3, paragraph 6-bis, and 4 and abrogates Art. 35 DL 9/2020.ee article 3 for detailed urgent regional or infra-regional measures. Article 4 sets out the related penalties and control rules.
