In Genoa there is no specific ordinance for Halloween
We have already achieved with the ordinances issued in recent days what the behavior of people should be, the limitations that we have are therefore already sufficient to manage the Halloween situation, perhaps in other municipalities where there were not enough regulations that needed to make ordinances specific ”.
The Mayor of Genoa Marco Bucci during the evening press point on the situation of the epidemic in Liguria excludes that even the Ligurian capital may issue ordinances such as those signed by the mayors of some towns in Tigullio and in which, for example, it is also forbidden to enter shops in disguise on October 31 and November 1.
“The rules contained in the different ordinances must be respected especially during the Halloween period but also in the following festivities – adds Bucci – These are all events that can be handled well if we follow the rules., Only then can we do it without dramatizing the lives of all citizens too much».
Meanwhile, yesterday, the Local Police raised 41 sanctions related to non-compliance with anti-covid regulations in the city. Of these, 39 referred to individual citizens and 2 to economic activities.
Local initiatives to stop the infection
To try to stop the spread of the virus, initiatives are multiplying. Five municipalities of Tigullio, Rapallo, Sestri Levante, Chiavari, Lavagna and Moneglia have Halloween parties prohibited, forbidding the rite of “trick or treating”.
The ordinance that prohibits it prevents merchants and citizens from giving away sweets or games. Wetsuits of up to a thousand euros are expected.
In Bordighera, the mayor asked the principals of the primary schools to make the pupils wear masks even during classes. It is not only the aspect of health.
In Albenga, the City Council leaders have waived the increase in the decentralized management fund of 10,000 euros, putting the resources to benefit the municipal budget.
The decision was made in light of the particularly difficult situation for the city’s economy that arose due to the Covid-19 emergency.
