The government is thinking of changing the way consumers shop amid a lockdown.
The coronavirus pandemic is evolving in our country as are the vaccines against the virus that it started and is the first victory against the invisible enemy.
Now, the big focus is on when the lock will be lifted and when the data will allow the world to return to normal.
As noted by the Minister of Development and Investments, Adonis Georgiadis, said that at the beginning of the new year talks will be held with the Infectious Diseases Committee for the opening of retail trade.
“If the image of the pandemic continues to decline, we will certainly relax some measures,” the minister said, however, he did not specify if this will happen from January 8.
As Mr. Georgiadis explained, the Ministry of Development has a plan that is being developed and according to this, with the elements of the pandemic and with the consent of the committee, it will present its proposal.
If all goes according to plan, Mr. Georgiadis emphasized while speaking to SKAI, “we will proceed with a partial retail operation” and emphasized that “there will definitely be rules.” 
Lock and change click away with … click store
In an effort to increase their turnover, merchants will suggest the operation of physical stores at least in areas with low epidemiological burden or the universal reopening of stores even with much stricter measures.
In turn, according to law 4177/2013, the usual discounts during the winter period are from the second Monday in January to the end of February.
Therefore, the winter discounts will begin on Monday, January 11, 2021 and end on Saturday, February 27.
According to information from the star, as of January 15, it is said that the click away will leave our lives and will be replaced by the so-called “click in shop”.
Thus, from mid-January, we will make an appointment and enter the store where, unlike now, we can try the product we want. Then we’ll pay for it and leave.
For small shops in the neighborhood, only one person will be allowed in, who must have made an appointment in advance. 
How the click went
The first market findings, both from individual small neighborhoods and large shopping centers in the city centers of Attica, show that the total turnover in value and volume this year before Christmas ranged from 35% to 40% from last year. .
Preliminary estimates show that the click away operation has enabled small businesses to generate as much as 5% to a maximum of 20% of last year’s daily turnover, while the battle to claim holiday turnover in retail is estimated in the few days that remain. at the end of the year, it is well behind last year, with around 1.5 billion euros in sales.
