In Italy, 500 cinemas close due to Covid-19

Italian cinema operator association ANEC chief Mario Lorini on Friday issued what he called a “red alert” for Italian cinemas after 500 screens closed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are heading for a 20% drop and the whole sector is at risk unless urgent government action is taken,” he told ANSA.

He said the survival of cinemas in Italy was at risk.
