Anti Covid measures, stop in gyms and smarter work. Restaurants will not close before 11pm

by MICHELE BOCCI and TOMMASO CIRIACO

Gyms and alcohol to go

Now it appears certain, in the new dcpm of the Prime Minister, the obligation to close the gyms and the prohibition of amateur contact sports.

A new tightening should refer to the sale of alcoholic beverages to take away, which is allowed no later than 6:00 p.m., but for bars, the mandatory closure should be at 9:00 p.m.

The crux of restaurant closures

There is a confrontation, even within the government, on the hypothesis of the closing time of restaurants to be included in the new anti-Covid dcpm. Prime Minister Conte would like the blinds to be lowered at 10pm, while some ministers would aim to close at midnight. But at this time we are working on mediation to reach an agreement that provides for the stop of the restaurants from 23:00 hours.

Hairdressers and beauty centers

Hairdressers and beauty centers will stay out of the measures that will bring new rules for commercial establishments. Initially, the total closure of these activities was expected, but the government has chosen not to impose restrictions.

The school

The Minister of Education, Lucía Azzolina, in an interview with Repubblica today reiterated the importance of face-to-face teaching for students. Yesterday’s meetings with the governors of the Regions showed the desire to reach an agreement on the staggering of admission times to primary, secondary and university schools, to also lighten the load of local public transport.

The Presidents of the Regions may also decide on the possible adoption of distance education for students in the last two years of secondary school.
