Shops must be closed at 9:00 in the evening. Circulation during the night must be restricted. Parties must be banned. Fairs and markets must be closed. Wearing a mask must become mandatory everywhere in the country regardless of whether they are public places inside or outside.
Companies have to shift their operating hours.
