On the side of the City of Geneva, the Municipality announces the closure to the public of all its museums, its municipal libraries, the Library of Geneva, the
sports facilities and centers, the Victoria Hall, the Grand-Théâtre, the Cinemas of the Grütli or even the communal halls and the reception desk of the Property Management
municipal.
Nursery and school restaurant closures
In addition, the Administrative Council confirms the closure of crèches and restaurants
in the territory of the City of Geneva. This decision takes effect from Monday March 16 to Sunday April 19, 2020. Reception solutions should be proposed, under the aegis of the canton.
Happy news for the subsidized entities, the City of Geneva indicates to the organizers of demonstrations or events that “the nominal and punctual subsidies to the social, cultural and sporting actors are maintained and paid, even in the event of cancellation”.
