“Out of 19 thousand. Retail companies currently do not operate 5 thousand. Companies, that’s a quarter. This non-opening plan more speaks to a quarter of the companies that are not operating. If we look at the epidemiological situation of 75 percent. In the case of operating commercial companies, the situation is good: there are no infections, no outbreaks are registered, no cases of infection are detected between the buyer-buyer or the buyer-employee. Employees bring infections from families or from kindergarten, in some other way. all of those cases are not very widespread in commerce. as a result, based on 75%. the example of existing companies states that commerce is a safe activity. Point of sale It is a safe place to buy due to the short contact, due to the great disinfection, through ventilation, partitions, use of masks, for all these measures epidemiological outbreaks do not occur.
With that in mind, we look at this opening plan, which is essentially not an opening plan. We could reasonably expect that when only scenarios A, B, C, D existed and it was scenario C that had trade opening, we expected C to include the opening of all trades. Now trade, which is the opening of supermarkets, is already moving towards scenario A, where full liberalization ”, said R. Vainienė at the meeting.
He added that stores with an outdoor entrance account for about 20 percent. commercial flow. 80 percent. the traffic is in the supermarkets
“Companies do not receive support. There are companies that have not received any support. I speak calmly and politely, but that talk is probably already in tears. The situation is tragic. Electronic commerce does not pay much. I ask a lot that those openings, where there is a separate entrance from the field, move 200-500 boxes per 100,000. nearest population. That opening may never come. After all, we must somehow learn to live with higher security requirements. Says 20 o 50 square meters. Meters per person to make there less people, but let them at least breathe. Now the stocks accumulated in companies for hundreds of millions of euros cannot materialize, “said R. Vainienė.
Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė and Minister of Economy and Innovation Aušrinė Armonaitė stated that the plan could be adjusted depending on the situation. However, the first version will not allow all stores to open immediately.
“It just came to our knowledge then. There may be a review and the other way around, God forbid, it’s not necessary. So today, I think our challenge is to get past some point and see how it goes. This is the main challenge. If we all get it right, in a joint effort, then we can talk about how many points in time could go somewhere. So far, I don’t see much reason to talk about it, “said I. Šimonytė.
“We really hear that concern from merchants and we respond. As of today, we are already planning to make some decisions that will allow us to see how we fare after the return of some traders. I would like to note that parts of Scenario C also foresee a possible increase in areas. This is because we will review this plan every week, taking into account the situation, it is a living organism ”, added A. Armonaitė.
The government decides that as of Monday, stores, kiosks and pavilions (excluding kiosks and pavilions in markets) operate in premises with a total sales area that does not exceed 300 square meters and have a direct entrance from the outside or a separate entrance used only by those stores. customers. In addition, the ban will no longer apply to florists in markets or supermarkets, but may operate in conjunction with food, veterinary, animal feed, optical products and orthopedic markets and pharmacies.
