Italy will allow nightclubs and dancing venues to reopen for the first time since 2020, a welcome sign of a return to normal as the country’s vaccine campaign pushes ahead.
Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s cabinet approved the reopening -- at reduced capacity of 50% indoors and 75% outdoors -- during a meeting Wednesday, according to a statement. Italy will also allow theaters and cinemas to operate at full capacity. The new measures come into effect on Oct. 11.
