• De-escalation. Reopening of the shop: pedal-operated bins, without toilets and with a customer counting system

After seven weeks with the shutter down, the shop opens its doors today in phase 0 of the de-escalation plan. They will not all open, yes, and those who do will start their activity with certain restrictions and with strong security and hygiene measures. These are the guidelines.

What shops are open? As of today, local shops and premises of less than 400 square meters can open . Proximity business means life-long commerce: hardware stores, stationeries (many already opened during quarantine), florists, clothing stores that are independent businesses, not large chains (since it is opened by appointment ...). .. They may also open cafes or restaurants but for take away service , not to consume within the premises. At what times and how can I go shopping? The businesses will be operational during their usual opening hours, what happens is that the Client can only go to the premises by appointment.He will phone to order what he needs and will pick it up when the business owner has it ready and says he can go. Customers will go individually to collect their purchases. For example, if a person needs a table, they will make an appointment with the owner of the furniture store, they can go at that specific time to choose their table, they will pay and they will take it. Can I go shopping without an appointment? You must always make an appointment to determine what time the merchant can assist you. If you need a hammer, you have to call the hardware store to tell you what time they can assist you to give you the hammer you asked for over the phone. The door will be open for appointment only, regardless of whether the shop shutter is up, or the padlock is not on. Just because a shop has an open door does not mean that you can enter. What if the door is open and no one is in? The business manager should not let you in, even if the door is open. If you walk past a hardware store and haven't made an appointment, the hardware store shouldn't let you in, nor should you try, since you haven't called. Do the clothing stores open? And jewelry stores? As long as they are local businesses (not large), yes. A baby clothing store, for example, may open, but always by appointment. If a mother needs to buy clothes for her children, she can call the store, make an appointment and come at the appointed time to choose the clothes. In the premises the clients will enter one by one. In the case of jewelry stores, exactly the same. If a couple needs to order alliances, they can go to the establishment as long as the jeweler has set a time to go . Can I go to the physio or to a beauty center? Yes. In addition to the shops, the opening of the service provision businesses is also allowed, as it is called. It opens in the same conditions as the rest of shops: always by appointment and under no circumstances can this visit be improvised. The same goes for hairdressers, already open from Monday, but 'on demand'. Will the markets open? The open-air markets can open from today as long as the municipalities authorize it. Priority will be given to food markets (fruits and vegetables ...). Customers, however, will not be able to touch the merchandise. It will be the shopkeeper who selects the product. And you can only open 25% of the positions.
