Discos in Italy will soon be able to resume their dance floors after being one of the final public venues to stay closed due to the country’s COVID-19 Prevention And Control Laws. The Italian government authorized the opening of discos as well as ballrooms on October 11 on the condition that provided indoor venues only fill to 50% capacity as well as outdoor venues fill to 75% capacity, according to a statement released on Thursday.
Experts who advise the government for anti-pandemic measures had warned for months that the close mixing of uncovered dancers and the screaming above the noise of blasting music were ideal circumstances for the transmission of the coronavirus. They were proven correct. Transmission rates in Italy, on the other hand, have been on a decreasing trend recently. In addition, the government authorized increasing the number of customers permitted in cinemas, theatres, museums, and music halls to their maximum capacity of 100 percent. The increased occupancy rate is applicable to venues where visitors must wear face masks and provide a “Green Pass” certifying that they have received at least one vaccination dose or that they have had a recent COVID-19 test that is negative.
As of Thursday, 72.5 percent of Italy’s population had received the recommended vaccinations. An urgent warning from Africa’s top public health authority about the dangers posed by a lack of COVID-19 vaccination doses across the continent has been issued.
