Ljubljana – Additional stores are expected to reopen on Tuesday following the government’s recent decision to allow in-person shopping in all stores under 400 square metres.

There is some concern about testing since staff in many types of shops will have to be tested for coronavirus weekly.

Ljubljana – The Chamber of Commerce (TZS) has again called on the government to reopen non-essential stores.
