The roadmap for the holiday market with a peculiar lockdown will be announced today, Friday, by the government.
The epidemic wave is slowing down and critical indicators appear low but not satisfactory.
Since we are at the end of the fifth week of the closure, the scientists expected a much better epidemiological panorama, hence they are negative in the opening of the market.
Yesterday, EODY announced 1,534 new cases, with Attica, Thessaloniki and Larissa collecting about half of them, while dozens of coronavirus cases were recorded in 45 other regional units in the country. Decompression is also occurring at a dramatically slow pace in public hospitals, where around 3,625 patients with Covid-19 infection are now being treated, of whom 565 are intubated.
The lock wants to … click
As announced, government spokesman Stelios Petsas will present jointly with the Minister of Development, Adonis Georgiadis, the government’s plan for the operation of the market until the holidays.
The truth is that epidemiological data do not allow a wide opening of stores, something that has been highlighted in the clearest way both by Stelios Petsas and by the Prime Minister himself.
The only thing that should be considered certain is that hair salons and bookstores will open under strict rules, as has been announced so far.
It is noted that the Infectious Diseases Committee suggested that very strict operational measures be taken for the stores to be opened.
It is recalled that the hairdressers, before closing, operated according to strict rules. Specifically:
- Four people up to 100 square meters. and one person for every 10 square meters. Further.
- Distance of two meters between jobs.
- Customer service by appointment only.
What is click away
On the other hand, purchases will be made using the click away method.
As stated by the Secretary General for Commerce and Consumer Protection, Panagiotis Stampoulidis, “this is an international practice that is applied in many countries to address the issue of consumer service.”
The consumer places the electronic order, prepares the product and with the order-payment receipt receives the product from a specially designed area of the store, outside of it.
This avoids overcrowding, both inside the stores and on the shopping streets of the big cities, since the market research will not be carried out inside the store, but from the electronic store. 
Experts agreed that opening up retail in a traditional way can be catastrophic for the spread of the coronavirus in the specific period of time, the holiday, during which the market is crowded.
Indeed, recent images from the London market where thousands of people waited for hours in crowded conditions for Christmas shopping served as a warning.
That is why they agreed to give citizens time to buy in a timely and safe manner so that scenes similar to those of the London market are not recorded in Greece.
Supermarket on Sunday
In addition, supermarkets throughout the country can remain open the day after tomorrow, Sunday, December 13, however, their operation is optional, as clarified by Mr. Georgiadis.
In this regard, it is considered almost certain to change working hours at night due to the resumption of the market, with the government devising a plan to postpone the ban later than the current framework, ensuring the necessary time for employees and customers Come home after shopping.
What’s left in … lockdown
However, the truth is that they will remain closed until January 7:
- Schools of all levels, kindergartens, nurseries, nurseries, kindergartens, while continuing distance learning
- Restaurants, bars, discos, music venues, theaters, cinemas
- Courts
- Sports activities other than those approved by the Health Committee (such as professional soccer leagues of the Super League and professional basketball leagues) and
- The ski resorts.
Likewise, the ban on interregional travel in the country extends to the same day and time, while the ban on meetings and night traffic remains in force.
