Unaccompanied minors will be prohibited in shopping centers
Gyms start operating at 50% capacity
Restaurants give up the protest today
After a break of more than 2 months, in which they worked only partially, since Monday all the country’s shopping centers have opened, but with a reduced working day of two hours.
Shopping centers will open at 10 a.m. M. And they must close at 9 p.m. M., at which time only cinemas that can open with 30% seat occupancy will be open.
Mall hypermarkets, which have been open so far, have generally reduced the end of the working day to 9 p.m. in the spring of last year. However, they open at 8 in the morning.
The establishments of the shopping centers will be able to work only for home deliveries and everywhere
in commercial
centers is
set
additional
live security,
as it was at the previous opening in June of last year. Its purpose, on the one hand, is to regulate the flow of people entering the building and, on the other hand, to prevent people from sitting at the tables in front of the restaurants, although they will remain fenced anyway.
Some shopping centers in the capital, but not all, have established a limit for visitors
at the entrance
the guards will
distribute numbers,
that entrants must keep until they leave the building. The goal is not to allow too many visitors. Apart from that, there will be a dividing line between the entrance and exit streams, and where possible, barriers will be placed dividing the aisles in two lengthwise, so that people have to walk around them until they reach a store on the other side. .
The other novelty, which was missing last spring, is that minors are now prohibited from entering shopping centers if they are not accompanied by adults. In principle, the children’s corners will be closed everywhere.
Gyms and gyms are also open today, but must keep visitors away from more than 50% of the gym’s capacity.
Many retailers who missed Christmas and New Years shopping are invited to advertise
promotions for
goods of
Autumn Winter
collections,
to accommodate spring and summer. In many places, these promotions are expected to only last a limited time, for example, until February 10 or 15.
Restaurants will likely have to wait until the end of the month to open, and it was clear yesterday that their affiliate organizations have given up on the idea of opening a protest on February 1. This happened after consultations with lawyers, who advised them not to do so, since the employees of the establishments will be personally criminally liable for non-compliance with the anti-epidemic measures, despite the fact that the manager of the establishment has decided to open that.
“We are willing to bear the administrative fines imposed on our staff, but we cannot allow our employees to be prosecuted. Most of them have been with us for years, we have been suffering together since the beginning of the crisis with COVID-19 and now not we have no moral right to ask them to submit to the Penal Code, ”wrote the Bulgarian Restaurant Association on its Facebook profile.
The decision to abandon the opening of the protest was made with the votes of 87% of the members of the association and the other affiliate organization – the Bulgarian Restaurant Association.
