“Everything is going well and we are preparing for it to actually open on Monday. We prepare detailed scenarios for key segments of trade and services. These are the last few days, “the Deputy Prime Minister wrote to Novinky in an SMS.

However, he pointed out the fact that the Czechia has only been in the 4th degree of the anti-epidemic PES system since Monday. “We have to be careful, we want to follow the PES scenario,” he added. With a few exceptions, only stores with basic necessities are now open. There is also a curfew from 23:00 until 05:00.

The news also turned to the minister with a question about whether shoe stores will receive an exemption from the PES system. In the Czech Republic, temperatures are now dropping to zero and children who have a growing foot every year could be cold. In addition, an exception to government measures was given to gun shops or cat and dog salons, which are shops and services more necessary than children’s shoes that simply need to be tried.

According to Havlíček, however, shoe stores will not be exempted, so everything should be open.
–
“It is true that it is not convenient for customers now, but e-shops have adapted a lot to the requirements. They offer options such as to try or return the goods. If we release the shoes, there will be a request for additional goods, “he told Novinky.

And precisely because of the measures in retail, the senators also filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court. According to them, measures for retail should be repealed, as they are discriminatory and mean the liquidation of smaller stores and businesses. Large shopping centers offering similar goods are open.

Senator: the measure has no logic
“People can’t understand why they can go shopping in a big supermarket, but not in a small shop. It makes no sense, “Senator Lukáš Wagenknecht (Pirates), who initiated the complaint, told Novinka.
–
Members of the upper chamber criticized the closure of stores with shoes and winter clothes. But he also sees a problem with people who can’t shop online, such as seniors.

Similarly, deputies agreed last week. They called on the government to unify the rules for retail and wholesale from November 23. But the government did not listen to them.
