For discos and corporate parties, say no.

From December 1, a ban on catering establishments in the Chelyabinsk region comes into force at night, from 23:00 to 6:00. These restrictions will remain in force until January 10, so it will not be possible to celebrate New Year in a noisy hall of the restaurant.


Recall that at present restaurants and cafes are allowed to work only in the mode of catering facilities, and all entertainment events, show programs, discos, festive banquets, corporate parties are prohibited, as they imply closer contact with visitors.

Compliance of catering organizations with the necessary requirements is under the strict control of interdepartmental working groups. Verification activities are conducted daily and will also be held on a regular basis in the future.

Thus, last weekend, interdepartmental working groups together with specialists from Rospotrebnadzor checked 25 entertainment facilities in the city, working at night. As a result, a protocol was drawn up for an official of the restaurant-bar "Voodoo-Bar" for violation of sanitary and epidemiological standards (under Article 6.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences). In addition, two institutions - the Abu-Dhabi Club lounge bar and the El Papa Chapa cocktail bar - have opened administrative investigations against officials. In both cases, violations of the ban on hookah smoking were revealed.

In case of repeated violations, the owners of the facilities face serious punishment up to suspension of their activities. Moreover, Magnitogorsk courts have already issued such decisions. Thus, in October the "Ural Farmer" store (91 Lenina Avenue) stopped its activity for two weeks. From November 13, the "Products" store (121 Karl Marx Avenue) was closed for a month. From November 19, the work of the meat center in the shopping center "Chkalovsky" (55 Chkalova Street) was suspended for 20 days.
