Mar del Plata will have to restrict the hours of night activity from 1 a.m.
on January 11.
After the national decree, the Government of the Province of Buenos Aires decided to apply new provisions for the municipalities that are
in phases 3 and 4
, such as Mar del Plata, given the increase in infections reflected in the statistics.
Starting Monday, all non-essential activities will be suspended between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.
“All these rules create disgust in people.
All they do is promote secrecy.
They asked us to work with protocol.
We invest in the necessary supplies and in three days the plans change.
People will continue to leave the same ”, Guido complains surrounded by his co-workers.
Juan Manuel (26) adds: “We don't know if we will be able to continue working.
People are not coming.
I waited all season to get rid of it and now they do this to me ”.
A group of 5 friends from Tucumán chat and sunbathe in front of the sea in Playa Grande.
They are located in one of the strips that mark social distance.
"The coronavirus does not come out only at night.
It is always always active.
The party will continue elsewhere.
The more they restrict it, the more clandestinity it will generate ”, they agree.
"The only ones harmed are bars and restaurants," think Morena and Andrea.
Two friends
walk through a spa in Punta Mogotes
while they plan what they will do this Saturday.
“It makes you angry that they open and then close.
Everything is cut.
But it angers me that they blame us young people, ”laments Abigail.
“The scene changed.
Everything is closed, gloomy and sad.
We come from a year with a lot of restriction and it tires the head.
This is anti-human, unnatural, "says Silvina, who came to the beach from Caballito.
Three friends walk on the sand with a little ice cream maker.
“We are used to not having fun at night.
We came with the idea of not going out and enjoying the beach more.
Other years we went down at 18. Now, we settled in at 13 ”, they tell Clarín.
Mario laments for not being able to go out until the sun rises.
“I can't 'see' myself with anyone.
They impose on me day yes, night no.
Having to come back at 1 am depresses me.
I don't want to go out.
Everything was pricked, ”he exclaims.
"People are going to continue to leave the same," says Belén.
"Not only do people not come to Mar del Plata, but those who are over 50 do not go out at night either. Labor falls at all hours. Selling coffee in the morning or promos at noon does not earn money. It is a blow to all gastronomy. We go into debt all winter to reach summer. I work with protocol and distancing. We cannot close, "they claim from the gastronomic sector:
In Pinamar, anger and confusion
"It's stupid," says Martina Celano (38), who walks along Av. Bunge, in the heart of Pinamar, with her daughters and husband.
"This is a chaos of people, there is little responsibility of the boys, the chinstrap is not used. And now with the restriction, the boys will be the same, but beyond that, the number of infections will not change. We know that it is difficult to control this, but this way it only hurts businesses more, "he says.
For Walter Zenobi, one of the proprietary partners of the Rada Beach Parador, the agreed restriction schedule, from 1 to 6, gives the possibility for spas to work double shifts in their restaurants, unlike the first schedule that circulated, from 23 to 6, which would have been "a very big blow."
"It is not the ideal situation but at least it relieves us a lot," he summarized.
"If the hours were kept from 23 to 6, 25 percent of the gastronomic of Pinamar was left out,"
the president of the Hotel and Gastronomic Business Association of Pinamar, Pedro Marinovic,
assured
Clarín
, and argued that the measure was going to the Inverse of "one of the things that make you disconnect on vacation", such as "not having schedules".
For Marinovic, now the 1 o'clock schedule "affects a lot the pubs, breweries and bars that were open until later, but it is less traumatic" for the sector than if the restriction began at 11 p.m. "The bulk of the gastronomy here it moves between 9:30 pm and midnight, "he said.
