Masks and fines, the Viminale circular clarifies the rules

Even those who are physically active outside should wear a mask. The Interior Ministry writes in a circular signed yesterday afternoon by Chief of Staff Bruno Frattasi with which clarifications are given to the prefects about the decree law approved on October 7.

Mandatory mask also for walking

The provision that provides for the use of the mask “exempts from the obligation to use only those who have sports activity in progress and not the motor, not exempted, however, from the obligation in question.”

In the drafts of the decree circulated in recent days it was written that the obligation to wear the mask was exempted from “those who are doing sports or motor activities” but in the text published in the Gazzetta the exemption was only for those who do sports.

Fines to pubs and restaurants that will make customers dance

Among the novelties are also the sanctions for the operators of restaurants, bars and pubs that will offer dance activities for customers, an activity that instead, it is worth remembering, is prohibited. Regarding the controls, only yesterday, Saturday, October 10, 471 people were sanctioned while 6 people were denounced for breach of the prohibition to move from their homes due to being in quarantine. 7,648 businesses and commercial activities were controlled, with 28 owners fined. A total of 8 stores were temporarily closed, while another 3 were closed with “auxiliary administrative sanctions.”
