Culture restarts: regions reopen museums after first week of coronavirus

Culture resumes after the first week of the coronavirus emergency has passed. Except for the red zones (the ten municipalities of Basso Lodigiano and the town of Vo’ in the Euganean Hills), museums and libraries reopen in all regions affected by the emergency measures: Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto, Emilia Romagna, Liguria, and Friuli Venezia Giulia. Museums and exhibitions reopen from today with their usual hours (except for museums usually closed on Mondays). In the regions of the so-called “yellow zone” (that is, all of Lombardy, all of Veneto, all of Emilia Romagna, and the provinces of Savona and Pesaro-Urbino) schools, universities, universities of the third age, professional courses, school trips and educational trips, cinemas, theaters and discos, major events, and sporting events remain suspended. In Lombardy and the province of Piacenza, the suspension also continues for gyms, swimming pools, sports centers, spas, wellness centers, cultural centers, social centers and recreation centers.

However, the opening of museums, in the regions of the yellow zone, is subject to a specific condition: that is, museums must ensure quota entrances or in any case such as to avoid gatherings of people, taking into account the size and characteristics of the premises open to the public, and such that visitors can respect the distance between them of at least one meter.
