A few hours ago, the name of a small cafe in Italy owned by Michele Trapani went viral because he ranked his cafe as a COVID-19 free cafe.

Trapani rejected the entry of anyone who hasn't been vaccinated against COVID-19.

He highlighted that he will activate a QR system to distinguish between who has been vaccinated or not before entering the place.

Regarding his motives for setting such rules, Trapani explained that he aims to create a calm, stress-free, and safe environment for his visitors.

He asserted that he found out that this one of the best ways to beat the hard economic crisis Italy suffers from amid the outbreak of the second wave of the COVID-19.

In the same context, the cafe's owner indicated that he didn't want to discriminate between who got the vaccine and who didn't, but he didn't trust the effectiveness of applying the medical measures against the pandemic.

On the other hand, Trapani was criticized as his action can be classified as a call for forcing the people to get the vaccine.
