Italy's firms shake lockdown using shortcut in coronavirus law by GVagnoni and Za_lentina

ROME/MILAN - Weeks into Italy’s coronavirus lockdown, thousands of Italian entrepreneurs have been given a bureaucratic shortcut to market.

But the government, facing a backlog of applications, has clarified Italy’s lockdown laws to say no companies need to wait for government approval to go ahead. So unless companies have been told they are not critical, all they need to do is to inform their local authority that they plan to reopen. Then, without waiting for an answer, they can go ahead.

Gasparini makes machines used to manufacture products from industrial shelving to components for electricity transmission and metal posts for vineyards. “We’ve created one-way paths inside the company so that people can’t run into each other, we all have masks and latex gloves, there are bottles of hand sanitiser next to where people get water or coffee. They take our temperature in the morning.”
