Total outrage among the entertainment venues of Alicante, after the The Ministry of Health has agreed this Friday with the autonomous communities to close these establishments to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Also, by the way, it prohibits smoking in the street and terraces as long as the interpersonal distance of two meters is not guaranteed.
Waiting for the Consell to transfer this agreement to the community, from the Association of Locals of Leisure and Restoration of Alicante consider “shameful” this decision, which they see as incomprehensibly restrictive for the sector.
He Interterritorial Council of the National Health System extraordinary has unanimously approved a series of measures that will be applied in all autonomous communities. In this way, the closure of discotheques, dance halls and cocktail bars is decreed, after the outbreaks in nightlife have grown.
Likewise, the hotel business must close at one in the morning and the restaurants will not be able to admit customers after midnight. They must also guarantee the distance of one and a half meters between clients.

But for ALROA there is not enough data to support this measure, which they consider “crazy”, says Javier Galdeano, its spokesman.
