Shock for the people of Bella Italia: From now on there will no longer be a long evening at the pizzeria. You don’t pasta until midnight. And with the aperitif on the bar it will also be tight.
Due to the increasing number of infections, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is taking action: the head of state has signed a new package of measures in the fight against Corona.
All restaurants and bars across the country must close for guests starting Monday at 6pm
The measures apply for one month.
In addition, cinemas, theaters, gyms, swimming pools, ski resorts and concert halls are no longer allowed. The measures should initially apply until November 24.

Under the new package of measures, bars and restaurants can continue to work for delivery and take-out services after 6 pm Museums can remain open, but with a limited number of visitors.
