On the table also fashion and automotive. Short meeting with the social partners (ANSA)

Fashion companies, furniture factories, automotive, construction sites . There are four production sectors that are expected to be reopened before May 4th, perhaps starting April 27th. As far as we learn, the restarting of these activities is being studied in these hours, also considering that they would be among those classified by Inail as low risk.

But an evaluation would still be ongoing and there should be a new confrontation with the social partners in the short term, perhaps already over the weekend.

On May 4, bars, restaurants and parks could reopen, albeit with a series of limitations and prohibitions . The hypothesis, according to what ANSA learns, is on the table of experts who will have to provide the government with guidelines for the reopening of the country. This is an ongoing evaluation, it being understood that the choices will be up to the government also on the basis of the epidemiological data that will be recorded in the coming weeks.

As for bars and restaurants, the indication would be to give a signal of reopening also for this sector . How? Restoring some of the rules that had already been prepared before the lockdown and adding others: therefore distancing the tables, maintaining social distancing also at the counter, individual protections for employees and in particular for waiters, use of outdoor spaces. As for the parks, also in this case the indication would be to give a restart signal: it would be allowed to access the green areas as well as to carry out physical activities even away from home. At the same time, however, a series of indications of 'prudence' will be reaffirmed, namely the maintenance of social distancing, the use of masks and the ban on gathering.
