The small bars here in my neighborhood (never seen a foreigner there) opened a few weeks ago already, including the girls. Never saw face masks or social distancing there.

Headline 13.9.2025: No new domestic cases for five years - bars remain closed and state of emergency extended for one more month.

The virus is never going to disappear completely, just like all the other viruses that have caused pandemics in the past.  But life has got to get back to normal, even if it's a "new normal".
