The Ministry of Interior sent a circular on “Market Measures” to 81 Provincial Governorships.

In this context, it has been stated that all commercial enterprises, workplaces and / or offices will be closed except for the places where basic food, medicine and cleaning products are sold and the workplaces covered by the exemption in order not to disrupt the production, manufacturing, supply and logistics chains during the curfews sent to the provinces. It was reported that grocery stores, markets, bakeries, butchers, greengrocers, dried fruits and desserts shops could operate between 10.00-17.00 during the closing period, while chains and supermarkets would remain closed on Sundays, limited to meeting their basic needs.
