The curfew between midnight and 5 a.m., announced by the prime minister, could also lead to store closings and day and night traffic, as well as gas station traffic, wrote Blokkk.com. The only exception to the restriction is to leave home to work, to go to work or to come home from work, or to protect our health, according to the new regulations that went into effect Tuesday night. The loss of turnover reported by customers left behind due to the restriction may mean that these stores are not worth opening during this period, even if the contractor merchant himself was standing at the counter.

According to the portal summary, not only small grocery stores will be adversely affected by the change, but also MANNA, Roni and similar commercial establishments, as well as retail chain units that operate out of gas stations, as well as flower and gift stores that they open at night. It will not be possible to collect packages from web stores at 24-hour service stations, or at known package collection points, despite the 24-hour parcel machine. At the same time, the decree allows courier and web store workers to upload them as a job title, but the shopper can only walk out onto their neat porch after five in the morning. According to the portal, we can also jump at night with the title of going to work and coming back from work.

The portal notes that since the regulation is not about emergency response, it can be assumed that service providers where you work can operate, for example, you can call a plumber, electrician or locksmith at night if they break a minute Before midnight. lock key.

The on-call pharmacy is clearly one of the exceptions, you can obviously still go there.

Unlike stores, the situation in wholesale is different: both sales and purchases are work here, since merchants, restaurants and service providers go there. Therefore, nothing prevents the merchant from getting up to collect the products before five in the morning.

All of this can further reduce the revenue of merchants and service providers. The former is on the decline anyway, though: According to the portal, the amount left in stores has been steadily declining since August. According to CSO data, buying sentiment in September and October also did not reach last year’s level, it was 2-3 percent lower than before.

According to the weekly CSO monitor, as before, there is a clear drastic decrease

shown among the circle of manufactured goods, as the scale of the decline varies from 8.8 percent to 17.5 percent.

The fall in the clothing market in the first 8 months is already 25 percent, similar to the book market. Based on online payment data, the portal found a 30 percent drop in traffic for technical articles.

According to the portal, Black Friday and traditional Christmas traffic can only moderately improve the situation in the sector, subject to possible new austerity measures.
