working on the anti-assembly plan

Certainly, there is no plan yet. The entrance, however, is clear and a definite picture will emerge for this weekend: as a hit before summer, Rome’s nightlife areas will be specially supervised. The increase in new coronavirus infections in Lazio, in fact, forces the Region and the police, therefore, not to lower their guard: concentrations must be avoided, now more than ever.

On the other hand, even the new Dpcm has it clear: after 9 pm it will no longer be possible to consume food and beverages outside the venue; it will close at 11 pm or midnight The repression in the world of the night is clear.

Not only the main nightlife squares, however, because in Rome, under the magnifying glass, there will also be mini-markets and neighborhood stores authorized to sell alcohol.

The public order and security committee chaired by the prefect Matteo Piantedosi was held today at Palazzo Valentini. Among the topics, it is not on the agenda, but the issue of anti-Covid controls in the capital was also discussed on the sidelines.

More checks in Trastevere, Campo de ‘Fiori, Pigneto and Ponte Milvio

Controls that will be “focused and rigorous”, as learned, in all nightlife venues but particularly in Trastevere, Campo de ‘Fiori, Pigneto and Ponte Milvio considered to be the highest risk of gatherings. As it emerged, in the sights of the police who will be present in the territory, not only respect for distance and the obligation to wear a mask, but above all respect for urban police regulations regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages to take away, That is the verification of the prescriptions of the Urban Police regulation on the prohibition of sale of alcoholic beverages at retail, which establishes the limit at 10 at night, convenience stores and neighborhood businesses will also be reviewed.

But not only because, as previously written, the new Dpcm also sets other time limits. However, it remains to be understood how these controls will be carried out. As reconstructed by RomaToday, the prefect will also interact tomorrow and Friday with the Rome police commissioner.

The hypotheses being examined to increase closure

Among the elements to be clarified is how many women and how many men will be used for the controls and if it is not excluded, there is a need for support from the Army, even with fixed garrisons as occurs in the metro stations with the Safe Roads operation. .

Probably also a calendaring of the areas, perhaps also studying the flows of people who frequent some places on Saturday instead of Sunday. As well as a possible ad hoc working group for Trastevere, it is not excluded due to the conformation of the territory with many nearby bars, restaurants and clubs.

Only hypotheses, for now, that they will dissolve in the next few hours. The goal is still to set up a series of controls, “tight and aiming”, as we learn, already from Friday and next weekend.
