Emiglia Romagna and Veneto restrict entertainment

Emilia-Romagna Governor Stefano Bonaccini signed an ordinance establishing that as of Saturday, which is Italy’s big Ferragosto national holiday, night venues can allow no more than 50% of their capacity of customers to enter, with people in the venue obliged to wear facemasks.

These measures apply to open-air venues as enclosed-space nightclubs have not yet reopened in the region following the COVID-19 lockdown.

Any venues that fail to respect the measures face immediate closure.

Similarly, Veneto Governor Luca Zaia signed an order stating that night venues cannot only operate at 50% of capacity and people must wear facemasks, even on dance floors, which must be open air too.
