If the rules of conduct are not followed, a strictly restrictive access control to the market perimeter should be considered. After each market day, an inventory is drawn up so that the necessary measures can be taken quickly.

Measurements

  • The market is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 6 a.m. at 12 p.m. instead of the usual until 1 p.m. This is to avoid as far as possible an overlap with catering establishments.
  • Theaterplatz and Bahnhofstrasse will be closed through traffic on Tuesdays (new) and Saturdays. Cyclists are asked to take the new conditions into account and to get off their bikes at the perimeter of the market.
  • For waiting customers, waiting areas are marked directly in front of the stands with floor markings at two-meter intervals.
  • Disinfectants are provided for the main entrances.
  • Along the right bank of the Reuss there is a one-way signaling system with access via Rosengart-Platz and access control as needed. In order to create enough spaces for waiting rooms and alternative areas, some market participants move to Bahnhofstrasse (between Kapellbrücke and Migrosbank) and the remaining positions are further divided.
  • Along the left bank of the Reuss, some posts in the Jesuit Church and the Opus Restaurant are relocated in front of the Lucerne Theater. At all Bahnhofstrasse and Jesuitenplatz stands, the sales area is oriented towards Bahnhofstrasse, so that a flow of passers-by between the market and the Reuss can be guaranteed. Barrier tapes will be installed behind the stands at Bahnhofstrasse and Jesuitenplatz.
