The new DPCM arrives before the lock down: from restaurants, to sports, to visits. ALL THE PROHIBITIONS
RESTAURANTS STOP AT 24 AM, AT 21 PM WITHOUT TABLE SERVICE
Bar, ristoranti, pub, gelaterie e tutte le attività di ristorazione potranno restare aperti fino alle 24 o fino alle 21 se non c’è servizio al tavolo. E’ quanto si legge nell’ultima versione del Dpcm, stilato al termine della riunione della cabina di regia con le Regioni e che LaPresse ha potuto visionare. L’apertura è consentita se “le Regioni e le Province autonome abbiano preventivamente accertato la compatibilità dello svolgimento delle suddette attività con l’andamento della situazione epidemiologica nei propri territori e che individuino i protocolli o le linee guida applicabili idonei a prevenire o ridurre il rischio di contagio nel settore di riferimento o in settori analoghi”. Consentite le attività “delle mense e del catering continuativo, la ristorazione con consegna a domicilio nel rispetto delle norme igienico-sanitarie sia per l’attività di confezionamento che di trasporto, nonché la ristorazione con asporto, con divieto di consumazione sul posto o nelle adiacenze dopo le ore 21 e fermo restando l’obbligo di rispettare la distanza di sicurezza interpersonale di almeno un metro”.
