According to a decision by the Ministry of Health, supermarkets and drug stores are allowed to offer all their goods again.
This causes displeasure among many specialist dealers.
Munich
- The strict
Corona *
lockdown
has been in place in Bavaria for a little over a month
.
Numerous businesses and service providers are affected.
Your shop doors will remain closed - initially until February 14th.
An
extension of the measures
cannot be ruled out.
In these difficult times for the entrepreneurs, a decision by the
Ministry
of
Health
creates a
great lack of understanding.
Corona: Sales ban for supermarkets and drug stores lifted
Up until now it was the case in Bavarian
supermarkets
and
drugstores
that only goods for daily consumption were allowed to be offered there.
The larger shops in particular had to cordon off their areas with toys or household goods, for example.
These could not be sold.
The
Augsburg administrative court
now partially overturned these sales bans, which led to the city of Kempten
turning
to the
Ministry of Health
.
The authorities were asked to
improve
their
sales ban rule
.
Then the bang.
On Wednesday (January 27), the
Ministry of Health
lifted
the
sales ban
completely.
This means that supermarkets and drugstores can offer all their goods again.
So you can look forward to shops that focus on goods that are intended for daily needs.
Thus,
specialist retailers
such as toy shops or perfumeries
look
into the tube.
A toy retailer from Aichach calls the decision a "clear distortion of
competition
" (see video above).
He only has the option of selling his goods via Click & Collect *, i.e. ordering online and picking them up on site.
However, his sales have
decreased
by 70 percent
since the tightened
Corona *
lockdown
.
Corona: Bavaria's hairdressers are not allowed to make house calls
Even
Bavaria hairdressers
get a damper missed.
They also had to close shortly before Christmas and have been doomed to do nothing ever since.
In Bremen, on the other hand, her colleagues have found a loophole in the
Corona *
regulation there
.
They are allowed
to make
house calls
.
Hairdressers must also remain closed there.
However, handicrafts and services are
permitted provided that
hygiene measures are
observed.
However, this loophole does not exist in Bavaria.
The rule is formulated much more strictly in the Free State: "Services for which physical proximity to the customer is essential, such as hairdressers, cosmetic studios, massage practices, tattoo studios or similar businesses are prohibited." And there is no change in sight.
For weeks, the
hairdresser's guild
has been appealing
to the
state government
to reopen the shops.
State guild master Christian Kaiser said: “We need a perspective for our salons.” But so far the demands have not been heard.
