Restaurants and cafes opening See what fines will be imposed when the measures are not observed

Open until 10:45 pm, from today and daily, are the restaurants without music and with table seats exclusively in open space, while citizens must send the code 6 by SMS to 13033.

We are all happy for our favourite places to open again after such a long time but please take a look at the fines they will receive if they don’t comply to the rules. Please be considerate and don’t try to make any of them do something they shouldn’t. Enyjoy
