According to Comeos, the closure of the non-essential stores will result in a loss of more than 100 million euros in sales per day. But which stores should in fact be closed now and which ones can still remain open? An overview.
Over supermarkets, food shops, bakeries, fish shops and butchers there is no doubt. They will remain open and will be stocked enough so that there will be no empty racks. According to Prime Minister De Croo, hoarding is not necessary for anything and would show highly anti-social behavior.
Also snackbars in sandwich shops stay open. Like frying. But only for pick-up. Eating on site is prohibited.
Restaurants in taverns may only sell takeaway meals.
Also DIY-companies may remain open. Just like garden centers, as Flemish Prime Minister Jan Jambon said on TV on Friday evening.
Hotels and B&Bs will also remain open, but the restaurants and bars will close. Meals are taken in the room.
Garages in bike shops only carry out repairs. Sales are temporarily no longer allowed.
Newsagents may also remain open.
And also markets are allowed, subject to compliance with security measures.
Those who are ill must be able to buy medicines. Pharmacists should therefore not close.
THEY MUST CLOSE
Clothing and shoe stores, flower shops, jewelry stores, coffee bars, decoration stores, Ikeas and all other non-essential stores are closing. However, they can organize pick-up and home delivery of goods ordered in advance.
Also non-medical contact professions must close. This includes hairdressers, make-upists, wellness, massage, beauty salons …
Toy stores also close and that is very difficult for them, so shortly before Sinterklaas.
