From tomorrow, 11 February, it will no longer be mandatory to wear anti-Covid masks outdoors. Also from tomorrow, the protective device must be worn indoors and outdoors, but only in the event of a crowd. The ordinance signed by the health minister Roberto Speranza. Friday 11 February is also a very important date for discos and dance clubs that finally reopen their doors.
Stop outdoor masks
"Until March 31, 2022 it is mandatory throughout the country to wear respiratory protection devices in indoor places, other than private homes". Thus it is specified in the ministerial provision. The ordinance also makes another clarification. And that is, that the obligation “It does not exist when, due to the characteristics of the places or the factual circumstances, isolation from non-cohabiting people is continuously guaranteed. In any case, the protocols and guidelines apply anti-contagion foreseen for economic, productive, administrative and social activities. As well as the guidelines for the consumption of food and drinks in public places or places open to the public ". The ordinance also states that "The provisions on the use of respiratory protective devices are derogable. But exclusively in application of protocols validated by Technical-scientific committee. The use of the mask integrates and does not replace the other measures of protection from contagion ".
Discos reopen
“The Minister of Health Speranza has shown attention to our requests. He replied that it will not be necessary to issue a provision to determine the reopening of discos and dance clubs. In practice, this will be the natural consequence of the end of the provision that decreed its closure. For this reason the premises will reopen from 11 February ". This was announced by Gianni Indino, from Silb-Fipe, the union of dance clubs. The decision to reopen is the outcome of the meeting that took place between Silb-Fipe and Minister Speranza. “Great news - adds Indino - now it will be necessary to restore also the capacities, at the moment reduced to 50 per cent for the premises indoors ". Definitely a good news for the Valentine's weekend which promises to be quite thrilling for many couples.
