Representatives of the shopping malls and retail centers attend a meeting with the governmental economic team and epidemiologists. The main goal of the meeting is to reach a joint plan to reopen business from February 1.

The business sector voiced several requirements before the meeting, including public transport resumption, weekend work permits, and rescheduling the movement restrictions for an hour later, from 10 pm instead of 9 pm.

According to the business representatives, the retailers have already proved they could safely serve customers amid COVID-19.
