Italy's NAS health police have
shuttered 17 tourist facilities across the country after a
nationwide sweep to see if they were complying with COVID rules
on the Ferragosto mid-August Feast of the Assumption Holiday,
sources said Monday.
The NAS found 301 criminal and administrative violations, half
of them regarding a failure to meet health and hygiene standards
in the preparation of meals, the sources said.
The sweep was also aimed at detecting the regularity of the use
of COVID Green Pass health passports by the users of the
structures.
Acting in conjunction with the health ministry, the NAS
inspected hundreds of campsites and tourist villages a s well as
agriturismi across Italy.
They issued fines worth a total of 150,000 euros.
The checks involved some 724 facilities, of which 202 presented
violations.
The health police found that many facilities had failed to
implement anti-COVID measures like the use of face masks and gel
dispensers, disinfection procedures, and social distancing.
