Hypothesis reopening from May: outdoor restaurants and individual lessons in the gym

The Minister of Health Roberto Speranza reaffirms the dates for reopening: “The current decree lasts until April 30, I think it is certainly legitimate to expect May“. The next month is therefore the one in which, again if the data allow it, we could see gyms and restaurants open.

“We will have to plan a gradual exit from the more restrictive measures,” said Speranza a Door to door, “We need to be cautious, because taking a longer step can bring us back.

But the will of the Government goes in the direction of check the contagion data week by week, and to build a way that allows us to restart a series of activities, but without taking risks. Start again in safety ».

The regions, through a coordination group, are working on a proposal to update the parameters on epidemiological risk assessment that are in place. The number of vaccinations made by the regions, in particular to the categories most at risk. The proposal is expected to be discussed in the State-Regions conference on Thursday when the guidelines on the reopening of economic activities will also be discussed.

The turning point for restaurants should come from the summer and therefore from the possibility of using outdoor spaces. The hypothesis is to open for lunch and dinner. We are also working on new parameters to reopen gyms, at first with only individual lessons, museums, with admissions by reservation only, cinemas and theaters occupied at most up to 50%.

They should come back the four colors: white, yellow, orange and red. There would remain distances and masks. However, the curfew would be moved from 10pm to midnight. Hence the possibility of evening opening for bars and restaurants. The hope is to have high school students, so far the most affected by dad, do the last month of school in attendance. There is no date for the discos, the prospect for the fairs is instead to start again in the month of July.

The whole plan is now put at risk by the Johnson & Johnson vaccine distribution block. With this vaccine available, the campaign could maintain the assumed times. Minister Gelmini explained to TgCom24: «We have gone from 180 thousand to 300 thousand vaccines on average per day but the Regions are able to reach 400 thousand very quickly and in September we will be able to have herd immunity. We are trying to accelerate, we use the doses we have and from 22 April we will have 8 million doses which will allow us to reach 400 thousand doses per day ».
