Lock Down Third Day

Yesterday, the Prime Minister Conte announced that all bars, restaurants and non essential shops have to stay closed, only the supermarkets, food shops, tobacconist's shop,  hardware shops and a few others can remain open.


Was thinking to make a trip to the supermarket, but worried that the police might pick on me to check for the reason why I am out, I will have to produce a self declared form stating my motive of being outside. Perhaps it will be better if I am out with an Italian.


Waited till evening, finally got out with a friend to the supermarket.
The street was quite empty, not deserted, but rather empty, the usual busy road just under my block was very smooth for traffic.



 

Surprise, the supermarket was not crowded, just a few customers were moving around. The staffs were having their mask and a huge guy who looked like some sort of security at the entrance was having his mask too.


She bought 3 full trolley of goods, but the photo was taken a few days ago

Yellow lines were labelled on the floor at the cashier counter to indicate the safe distance between each waiting customer.



While waiting for my turn, noticed that on the shelf at the liquor section, the only one with discount was : The Corona Extra. And there were only three bottles left.

Location : via Pietro Micca/ Via Mercanti/ via Bertola

It must be strange at the moment.
