Only 14% of restaurant owners agree to reopen with using only their outdoor areas. They fear that opening up to outdoor areas alone could leave them without state aid, and operating in these limited spaces alone will not be enough to sustain their businesses. In addition, not all catering establishments have open-air sections.
The opening of the outdoor areas of restaurants was among the proposals made yesterday by the Association of Catering Establishment for easing the restrictive measures. In their position, they also demanded the opening of nightclubs on April 15, BNR reports.
