The beginnings of a pandemic exit strategy emerged Friday when the central government’s coronavirus subcommittee proposed a plan to stop discouraging vaccinated people from traveling, dining out or attending large-scale events as early as October.
Restaurants and bars, which have been urged to reduce business hours and stop serving alcohol, will be able to serve such beverages and stay open without restrictions or the risk of fines, according to the plan.
The government is expected to finalize the strategy as early as next week.
