In the port city, an association of bars, sports institutions and event organizers has been established, to which more than fifty shops in the city have already joined. A similar association has been operating in Vilnius and Klaipėda for some time now.
It is important to work together
According to the representatives of the leisure companies, under quarantine conditions it is very important to speak with the authorities not individually, but on behalf of the association.
The goal is said to be to draw attention to entrepreneurs acting in good faith under these conditions.
According to the director of the Klaipeda Leisure Association, Jevgenijus Sokolovas, the new organization will try to control how companies comply with these obligations and regulations.
The opening hours of the bars and cafes also offer the bear service for the visitors themselves, who will continue to seek private alternatives to entertain themselves.
A letter of intent has already been drawn up on what the association intends to do and what measures to take not only in accordance with the Government’s mandatory requirements for COVID-19.
“We are determined to register customers in three ways: via SMS, online or on site, plan to measure the temperature for visitors, of course, keep distances and constantly disinfect public spaces. That’s why we sent a message additional to the Klaipeda municipality, what the port companies plan to do during this difficult period, “he said. head of the newly created association J. Sokolov.
Social life is essential
During the quarantine announced in spring, the activities of all the leisure and restaurant establishments were impossible.
It is said that even if we have to temporarily suspend operations again, the situation for business may be irreparable.
“If we have to close, for how long – for two weeks or a few months? Will we be able to open, perform and celebrate before Christmas? Will everyone have to know for a while? This is a very important question. Because we also have athletes. After all, it is important to maintain the “It is much more important than sitting at home and eating from morning to night, which does not lead to anything good. Social life is necessary for people “, Sokolov is convinced.
The aim of the new Entertainment and Leisure Business Association is to demonstrate that companies take a responsible approach to the current situation.
Furthermore, some companies are currently doing even more than what is required of them.
A suspension would be disastrous
The kind of deadlines to stop businesses would be disastrous for them depends on whether the downtime is compensated for.
The current government has “stripped” itself of this responsibility over the municipalities that do not have the funds to help companies in this case.
“Now we want to emphasize that we are working, the members of the association are actively sharing information about where and what disinfection or protection products we can buy, what solution we can implement. I am glad that Mayor Vytautas Grubliauskas understands the situation of entrepreneurs. What we heard from him during our conversation “The mayor would not want to close everything either, but try to find solutions, which gave us the idea of forming an association during this difficult period of the pandemic,” emphasized J. Sokolov.
Will there be no control after the bans?
Over the past week, the biggest concern has been the reduction in the opening hours of bars and clubs, which currently only open until midnight.
“People are now even more intimidated and fearful of visiting catering establishments. We see the threat that people will celebrate the next big parties in saunas, private rooms or apartments where there will be no time limit or control over the quarantine that they currently offer. catering establishments “. , – convinced J. Sokolov.
The director of the Klaipėda Leisure Association believes that restrictions on working hours in bars and cafes also serve bear service for visitors themselves, who are still looking for private entertainment alternatives.
In this case, the chances of getting infected are much greater than visiting a bar.
