No tables in the restaurant, the limit of four people remains both in the yellow zone but also in white. The Ministry of Health takes cover after the “free all” interpretation given to the latest guidelines on reopening and reaffirms the priority of the primary rule, in this case the Dpcm in force until 31 July, over any other indication. Therefore, at a single table, indoors as well as outdoors, only four people, the only exception if it is the same cohabiting nucleus.
An emphasis that, of course, also prohibits the most numerous invitations to dinner at home. In fact, even for visits to friends or relatives, the limit of four people plus any minor children remains in force.
Meanwhile, a Sardinia case erupts where the order of the governor Solinas that sets the stakes for those who reopen the rooms indoors has sent restaurateurs in crisis, also due to the difficulty in taking on the required measurements. “One person for every 20 cubic meters of air and an air exchange rate of no less than 0.5”. Not a simple calculation, certainly very different from that of the distance between the tables, where one meter is enough. Cristiano Aresu, owner of a restaurant right next to the regional council, and therefore right in the center of Cagliari, admits it right away: “I don’t know how I will measure, the spaces are there and they are large. There is still fear, at the closed I have ninety seats in three rooms. I have worked well even in the last week, I ask everyone to always respect the rules so as not to fall into a possible lockdown in October “, he says. And, on the cubic meters of air to be measured, “Solinas is nearby. Come and eat with me and tell me how to do it”. Roberto Cinus, also in the central area: “The 20 cubic meters? I’ll call an engineer to make him do the math. But then what does 20 cubic meters of air mean in a room that has a height of five meters? It must be measured in height or width? ” Another restaurateur, Antonello Ghiani, is clear: “I haven’t done any calculations yet but it seems absurd to put this constraint of 20 cubic meters of air for each customer right now that we have turned white. The tables have the guaranteed distance. call an engineer or a surveyor to find out what I have to do “.
