Shops may be open between 5:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Shops, including those that have been closed since March 8, may be open according to new, square meter-based rules. On average, there can be one customer per 10 square meters in the store according to the new regulations.
Temporary protection measures related to services will be lifted, allowing hairdressers, beauticians and other service providers to open.
