🍴🥗🥪🍷🍺Bars & restaurants in many countries remain closed because of #Coronavirus.
There are plans across Europe, Middle East, Australasia to open soon.
Israel is among a few who have pressed ahead. Restaurants/bars allowed to open from yesterday so how’s it working? [thread]

📸 I took these at a Jerusalem mall yesterday on day one of reopening. Social distancing? That are 1.5m apart but it’s hard to navigate and maintain distance. 
🇮🇱 #Coronavirus infection rates are low now but small spike in past few days.
Between 25/5 and 26/5, 32 new people were diagnosed with #COVID__19: highest number in a week.
There is concern that complacency will set in.

There’s clearly a huge incentive for countries globally to get their #lockdown reductions right.

The signs here say that masks must be worn inside and people must maintain a 2 metre distance. The second of these directives isn’t being followed all that rigorously though....
My initial conclusion after 2 hours outside one cafe in Israel (where they were allowed to open from yesterday with specific guidelines) is that social distancing in a restaurant setting is very very hard.
After a couple of hours at a Jerusalem cafe, on just day two of their reopening, it looks to me like the drive to return to normal is overwhelming the necessity to adapt our behaviour. news.sky.com/story/coronavi…
