The covid epidemic 19 it changed our lifestyle and made present and future uncertain for each of us.
Fossacesia, renowned as it is a charming seaside resort on the Abruzzo coast, has beaches equipped with chalets, hotels and a large tourist accommodation chain that, following the best "strong and gentle" Abruzzo tradition, is ready to face the change imposed by the pandemic by covid sars 2019.
“We don't know anything yet, neither when and nor how we will open – says Walter Ricci, owner of the 'La Galetta' establishment’ -. At the moment you only have the possibility to level the beach and collect the debris brought by the sea through a communication to the Municipality and the Harbor Master's Office, and it's
It is possible to carry out small maintenance work, respecting the anti-contagion rules and supervising the state concession. We cannot take care of setting up the beach”.
“Left in jeopardy. The government continues to tout the fact that it gives money to businesses: it is actually an invitation to take on more debt. Nobody supports us. This total closure of the country is an abnormal damage. We have all understood that the coronavirus is a danger, but Italy cannot be kept blocked. Which expects citizens, exasperated and in misery, they begin to commit suicide?” Thus Donato Di Campli, football agent and entrepreneur, at the top of the Supporter group that he owns, in Lanciano (Ch) and on the Costa dei trabocchi, of two restaurants, a hotel and a bathhouse. “The situation is dramatic – dice – and we do not yet know what it will be about the bathing season at the gates. As for me, I have a hundred employees; I have the rents to pay, state property rents… I want to work to be able to meet the expenses. They still want to keep everything still? Then help us, seriously, not with useless commercials on television”.
No certainty at the moment for the beaches on how many umbrellas and at what distance they will have to be placed or on the organization of services and related spaces such as bars and dining areas, to avoid crowds, especially in the hottest periods.
The reopening of the free beaches is unlikely at the moment, since it is even more difficult to regulate for respecting distances, avoiding the risk of being huddled next to each other.
The owners of the establishments, however, they are ready to field whatever the Government asks for: online booking of deck chairs, sunbeds, umbrellas, distance measurements for sunbeds, the management of umbrellas. Now more than ever, there is only a desire to leave.
