MASSIMO COSTA
THE government's decision to reopen
restaurants has been met with mixed reac-
tions from within the industry, with some
welcoming the chance to host patrons
within their premises again and others
lamenting that the tight safety measures
which will have to be followed will make
their operations economically unfeasible.
As from Friday, restrictions put in place
in March which forced Malta's restaurants
to close their doors in a bid to prevent the
spread of the coronavirus, will be lifted.
Once they carry out a self-assessment
exercise to check if they have put in place
all COVID-19 safety protocols, eateries
can request that the Malta Tourism Au-
thority inspect their premises.
