cheap nrl jerseys<\/a><\/p>\n\nOwners of Vilnius restaurants and fashion boutiques hit upon the idea after
\nauthorities further eased lockdown measures and allowed eateries and bars to
\noperate indoors from Monday.\n<\/p>\n
\nBut customers have since been slow to return indoors after dining al fresco
\nresumed earlier this month.\n<\/p>\n

\nMayor Remigijus Simasius called the initiative “a perfect match of communal
\nspirit and creativity working side by side which also brings us some tangible
\nmaterial benefits.”\n<\/p>\n

\nIt joined neighbours Estonia and Latvia to reopen shared borders last

Some wear bags over their heads and others stylish black fedoras but all are dressed to the nines as they silently wait in restaurants and cafes across Lithuania’s capital Vilnius. Seated at tables spaced four metres (yards) apart, dozens of elegant mannequins are intended to help clients dine at a safe social distance, and perhaps, … <\/p>\n
