The government is set to approve
grants for sectors hit by the latest round of COVID-19-linked
restrictions in record time, Economy Ministry Roberto Gualtieri
told a meeting with business representatives on Tuesday,
according to sources.
Under a decree Premier Giuseppe Conte's cabinet approved at the
weekend, bars and eateries must stop serving customers at 18:00
while cinemas, theatres, gyms and swimming pools must close
completely.
Gualtieri told the meeting that the aid measures, which are
being presented at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, would arrive
"in record time, by November 15".
He said that some groups of business would get the same amount
they received in previous aid packages after the lockdown of
earlier this year, while restaurants would get 150% of that and
some groups would get up to a maximum of 200%.
