Orange zone: bars and restaurants, also closed in Bologna. Stop moving

Bologna, November 14, 2020 – Starting tomorrow and for two weeks, Emilia-Romagna will turn orange, but it is closer to red. The reason? The regional ordinance (which is triggered, however, tomorrow) adds other more severe measures that, for example, the orange band would not provide. Moral: In this latest jungle of ordinances, rules and measures, the band is almost fuchsia.

Movements. The new ordinance of Minister Speranza, which, in fact, turns us from yellow to orange, prohibits travel from one region to another and from one municipality to another (unless there are proven reasons to justify self-certification). As long as we were yellow, we could have moved without restriction. Today is the last day to do it. The curfew is maintained from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Bars and restaurants. Due to the degradation to orange, they are closed seven days a week, with take-out allowed until 10pm and deliveries are still possible. After the restrictions of the last Dpcm that forced them to close at 18, but left them open for the weekend, they are forced to lower the blind. Today is the last day to have breakfast in the bar or lunch in the restaurant.

Stores. They are closed on Sundays, but due to regional ordinance. Always open, however, pharmacies, parapharmacies, food, tobacconists and kiosks.

Malls. Inland non-food stores are closed on holidays and the days leading up to holidays, every weekend. However, it will always be possible to go shopping. Also stop at commercial parks (such as Meraville) and also for medium and large sales areas, more than 250 square meters (large clothing chains and mega stores such as Ikea).

Markets. The regional ordinance provides for the shutdown of open-air markets without ad hoc plans on the part of the Municipalities. Palazzo d’Accursio has recognized the ordinance and has specified that it will close all of them (the peasants, the Piazzola and the antiques market in Piazza Santo Stefano). Instead, local markets are saved.

School. Another extra measure, the suspension of gymnastics, singing and wind instrument classes in elementary and middle schools.

Shopping and physical activity. Only one person per family can buy in food stores. Lovers of physical activity should avoid historic centers and crowded places.

Hunting. Confagricoltura Emilia-Romagna calls on the Region not to suspend hunting activity after the Covid emergency.

Traders’ reactions. Ascom, with the director Giancarlo Tonelli, underlines “the disorientation of businessmen, after the efforts to guarantee security. The world of commerce, tourism and services is the most affected. Thinking of non-reimbursable interventions for these sectors is the minimum “. “. Loreno Rossi, director of Confesercenti, attacks:” Too much uncertainty. You could at least have the grace to start the orange zone starting Monday, since restaurants have already made purchases based on reservations. What was the purpose of the company’s work to avoid degradation? We are speechless. “
