In Italy, the regulation has begun to be gradually lifted as the infection of the new coronavirus has been suppressed, restrictions on going out have been relaxed in many areas, and restaurants have been allowed to operate outdoors.
In Italy, on the 26th, restrictions on going out and retail stores were relaxed, and restaurants were also said to have suppressed the infection of the new coronavirus in more than half of the states, including the state where the capital Rome and the metropolitan Milan are located. Outdoor business was approved.
In addition, movie theaters and theaters have also been reopened on the condition that the number of visitors is 50% or less of the capacity.
At a restaurant in central Rome, people were seen enjoying their meals on the terrace, and the visitors said, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I can meet friends I couldn't meet."
On the other hand, the restaurant owner said, "I don't know how long the reopening will be allowed, so I'm more anxious and worried than happy."
Regulations have been tightened in Italy since last fall due to the spread of infection, but protests have been held one after another over the long term, and it seems that there are voices of such dissatisfaction behind the deregulation this time.
On the 26th, the Italian government announced stimulus measures totaling 248 billion euros and 32 trillion yen in Japanese yen to rebuild the economy, but there are days when the number of infected people exceeds 10,000 per day. The challenge is to prevent the re-spread of the infection.
