Last week, bars, restaurants, cafes and pizzerias across Italy threw open their doors, inviting the public to celebrate the end of two months of confinement and start getting back to some semblance of normal life. There are no tourists in the historic centers of major cities, and many office workers are continuing to work from home, leaving cafes and restaurants mostly empty. Without tourists or office workers, many restaurants and bars remain empty. The French government is expected to allow restaurants, bars and cafes in so-called “green” zones, where coronavirus cases are sufficiently low, to welcome guests again starting on June 2. Normally, it is office workers who fill the restaurant.
