According to the Ministry of Health, people aged 65 years and over and people with previous chronic diseases are classified as risk groups. With this measure, Billa, Merkur, Bipa and Penny want to protect the most vulnerable population group in particular and for this reason they ask all customers who do not belong to the risk group to make their purchases outside the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. am The recommendation corresponds to the experience of the first confinement, which has shown that the frequency of clients is usually lower during this hour.
