Sicily in the yellow zone, in short, does not make Sicilian restaurateurs rejoice, who with great difficulty have to start again with difficulty for the umpteenth time and with so many uncertainties caused by a policy that does not send clear and precise guidelines.

"We have to wait for the technical-scientific committee, we are slaves to the bureaucratic slowness that distinguishes, from the first moment of the COVID-19 crisis, the modus operandi of both regional and national politics - complains Giovanni Trimboli, provincial president of FIPE Confcommercio restaurateurs -. The uncertainties about the measures that we will have to adopt for the holidays, Christmas lunch yes, dinner no, do not allow us to make any programming. This is yet another little theater that politics has put in place for the month of December ”.
