In the white area discos will finally be able to reopen after more than a year and a half of hiatus. This is the opinion of the Technical-Scientific Committee that the Government should examine in the next Council of Ministers (probably Thursday). However, the experts warn: despite the green light, “these activities are among those that present i higher risks for the spread of the virus.
The new rules should be included in the decree which will revise upwards the capacity limits imposed on stadiums, theaters and cinemas. On ballrooms, however, the rules will be much more stringent.
DISCOS: CAPACITY LIMITS
Based on the indications provided by the Cts, for discotheques the capacity limit must be set at 35% indoors and 50% outdoors, percentages also include employees. The thresholds recommended by the experts immediately made the insiders turn up their noses: “The important thing is to reopen but in this way the conditions are not favorable, because they will affect the costs, I hope that the percentages on the capacity can be reviewed in the CDM. Otherwise it will be difficult for many to reopen,” explained the president of Silb – the union of dance hall managers – Maurizio Pasca.
THE OTHER RULES
You will only enter with a green pass. The mask must always be worn with the exception of moments when dancing, considered as indoor physical activity. Guests must be registered in order to allow for any tracking. And again: The rooms must have ventilation systems without air recirculation and meet certain requirements, it will be necessary to give the possibility to sanitize hands frequently and guarantee the sanitization of the premises. Disposable glasses must be used for drinks.
