Restaurants In Italy Give A Glimpse Of What Post-Lockdown Life Might Look Like

ADVERTISEMENT

After reports of daily Covid-19 deaths dipping in Italy, the country is starting to slowly emerge from the lockdown. Back in March 10, the Italian government issued severe lockdown measures, preventing people from going outside with the exception of essential errands. Now, the country is starting to emerge from the longest lockdown in the continent, although the prospects of what life will be are far from what we used to know.

On Monday, millions of people in Italy were allowed to return to work as the government starts to slowly relax the severe measures it put into place back in March. In anticipation of further restrictions being lifted, various businesses are preparing to start running again, however, whatever image we had of normal life is now changing. Restaurants are installing plexiglass sheets between and across tables to protect customers from the potential risk of getting infected with the Coronavirus.

Restaurants and cafes in Rome and Milan are taking precautions by installing barriers in hopes of attracting customers that might otherwise be deterred from eateries in fear of getting infected with the virus. Businesses are employing the use of plexiglass sheets to create barriers between customers and service providers. Italy is not the only country using plexiglass in hopes of attracting customers, Suitsupply stores are also using the material to “corona-proof” their business.

As a writer and image editor for Bored Panda, Giedrė crafts posts on many different topics to push them to their potential. She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).
