Such PES changes would enable regional public health offices and the ministry to apply local measures instead of nationwide restrictions, Feri said. Furthermore, they would not be bound to the crisis law, but by the law on the protection of public health. The proposal does not discriminate against retail shops as it avoids scenarios when shopping centers may be open, but small shops can't, Feri added. The opposition PES scheme also introduces transition levels applicable if the risk score oscillates between two levels.

Unify rules for wholesalers and retailers. Basic supplies will be allowed to be sold at all stages of the PES system. In retail and wholesale stores, there will be a uniform restriction on the number of people in the store area (1 person per 10 m2 of operating space, 2 m spacing between customers).
Enable all students in kindergartens and in the 1st and 2nd grades of elementary school to attend full-time at all levels of PES.
Close catering establishments only for the 4th and 5th PES levels.
Stage 0 would not require restrictions and in stages 1 to 2 only local restrictions would apply. In stage 3, the establishments will be closed only from 10 pm to 6 am.
