The evening closure of bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants would have been strongly supported by Silvio Brusaferro, president of the National Institute of Health. The new and umpteenth decree of the Presidency of the Council – which entered into force on Monday 26 October and valid until 24 November -, as is known, has closed gyms, swimming pools, theaters and cinemas. The locals are forced to pull the shutters down at 6 pm.
A controversial and controversial choice that was met with disappointment (euphemism) from the world of catering. A world and an entire category that finds itself in enormous difficulty again due to the tightening operated by the executive and for all the measures adopted in recent months. First the bugbear of the plexiglass, then the reduced capacity and the spacing between the tables, then the costs for the sanitation of the room, finally the closing forced in the late afternoon.
According to what the Corriere della Sera, the government decision to operate the new turn of the screw the premier reached the end of the summit Giuseppe Conte and the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza had over the weekend with the experts of the Scientific Technical Committee. Apparently, the reasoning behind the squeeze was (was) to take away the temptation of Italians to go out, inducing them to stay home safely. In short, if restaurants and clubs are closed by law, who can think of going out to eat a pizza or have a beer? Nobody, since the shutters of these activities are down. The same goes for swimming pools, gyms, cinemas and theaters: close everything to avoid crowding in the locker room, in the weight room and in the stalls.
The goal, said the tenant of Palazzo Chigi, is to curb the contagion curve and avoid the risk of having to impose a second lockdown before, after or during Christmas. A nightmare scenario. What government and CTS want to avoid. “The infections in the next few days will continue to grow, but it is important to systematically adopt the measures immediately. The virus circulates throughout the country. In some regions the situation is critical”, said Brusaferro al Everyday occurrence. In the chat with the newspaper directed by Marco Travaglio, finally, the president of the ISS commented on the specter of a new total lockout of the country: “The lockdown remains the last available weapon that we all hope it will not be necessary to adopt. It will depend a lot on our behavior: today we are called to ‘cool down’ curve gods contagion with important limitations to our socialization to have everyone more serenity and security in the coming months “.
