Closing big non-food stores increases the risk of the spread of Covid-19, reads a position by the Association for Modern Trade. When big stores are not working customers go to smaller shops where health requirements are difficult to comply with. Leading companies have proved that they are able to ensure distancing and disinfection, control access and comply with all anti-epidemic measures fully.

The continuing closure of big stores is having dire economic consequences for traders but also for the entire system of retail businesses and could lead to bankruptcies and an increase in unemployment.
