Rome, June 3, 2021 – Four people at the table in bars and restaurants? This is the hot issue that will be addressed today in a technical table between government and regions. The issue in recent days has been a cause of friction in the majority, between the Regions and the executive. In addition to the indications for restaurants, especially for those that have tables only indoors, other measures for restaurants should also be analyzed regions in the white zone.

Summarizing what happened, the Regions, in the guidelines, they had relaunched the tables and the silence of the CTS seemed to be a concession, but later the Minister of Health intervened Roberto Speranza with clarification who had curbed the enthusiasm: “In the catering services activities, table consumption is allowed for a maximum of 4 people per table, unless they are all cohabiting”. Only today, therefore, after the interlocutions, should we get to the point. In the meantime, the Undersecretary for Health has already said that he is in favor of an increase in the number of diners at the table. Pierpaolo Sileri, who hopes the limit of seats will be revised “because it is clearly very restrictive. I am among those who were for the increase of seats at the table, frankly there I would increase to 8-10, and then I would liberalize from early July, when we should have over 30 million people with the first dose of the vaccine “.

Political forces
For the president of the senators of Come on Italy, Anna Maria Bernini, it is “necessary to put an end to the interpretative chaos of these hours, which has generated further confusion. It is in fact a frankly excessive and illogical measure, so I hope it will be canceled immediately so as not to create further difficulties for restaurateurs already heavily penalized. “. He echoes her Roberto Occhiuto, leader of Forza Italia in the Chamber of Deputies: “The Italians, despite the disappearance of many limitations, are continuing – he stressed – to adopt impeccable behavior. Using a mask, disinfecting hands, respecting social distancing, are now good habits that we will all use until Covid is defeated. In the meantime, infections, deaths, hospitalizations, numbers of intensive care units are constantly decreasing, and at the same time those who have received the vaccine increase. In this scenario, it seems really lunar to want to limit the freedom of restaurateurs in the white zone, imposing – as the Ministry of Health would like – the maximum limit of 4 people per table. In these hours – added Occhiuto – there was an understandable protest from operators in the sector and the Regions, and Minister Gelmini is doing well to try to resolve this case positively. we trust the Italians and let them come back to life “.

Of the same opinion is Giorgia Meloni, leader of Brothers of Italy, who on social media stressed that “Italian companies and activities must be placed at the center of every government action, they must be supported and left free to produce wealth: only in this way will it be possible to return to normalcy and restart the nation”. According to Meloni, “the crazy restrictive measures are continuing, useful only to further damage the economy. Measures that seem designed more to continue to massacre the categories hated by the left than to effectively combat the virus”.

“Absolutely ridiculous“. Microbiology Maria Rita Gismondo thus dismissed the debate on the limit of 4 people at the same table in restaurants. “It seems to me more of a ridiculous political debate than a theme based on a scientific reality. And I find it just as ridiculous that there should be a meeting with technicians” on the subject, the director of the Clinical Microbiology, Virology Laboratory stressed to beraking latest news Salute. and bioemergency diagnostics of the Sacco hospital in Milan. “It has been a long time since we have known and said which are the distance terms necessary to prevent infection”, recalled the expert. “Today, that more than 4 people cannot sit at the table in a public place when they can do it quietly in private homes – he observed – I think it is absolutely ridiculous. Rather”, Gismondo urged “to empower people to avoid attending a ‘free all’ “in this new phase of the fight against the pandemic Coronavirus.
Try to find mediation Fabrizio Pregliasco, lecturer at the State University of Milan: “In 4 only indoors – is the proposal -. As a step to be modified gradually, as in a war strategy “.” It is clear that there is no management manual – he added – but the general principle is to reduce the frequency of contacts and in this phase “of the epidemic of Covid “we must be cautious. Let’s go carefully – he warned – because, as we see from England, there can be tail blows of the virus for many reasons: new variants and again a vaccine situation that must run and that we must run in the best possible conditions in order to have a good medium-term result, that is for the summer “.
