Another measure to slow down the pandemic and protect the elderly will come into force: the shopping bar for the elderly will be reintroduced from Tuesday – the Government Information Center informed MTI on Monday. It was highlighted that in grocery stores, drugstores and pharmacies, the elderly are free to shop outside the protected shopping time period.

In their statement, they wrote that the government has accepted the proposal of the Council of the Elderly, so that seniors will have a shopping time zone from 9.00 am to 11.00 am from Tuesday (Mondays to Fridays) and on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) from 8.00 am to 10.00 am. During this time interval, only those over the age of 65 may enter grocery stores, drugstores (stores selling perfumes, drugstores, household cleaners, chemical products and sanitary paper products) and stores selling medicines and medical aids (pharmacies).
