Weeks go by and anger grows among “non-essential” traders, forced to close shop since the re-containment on October 29. This Thursday, the mayor of Toulouse (LR) Jean-Luc Moudenc asked on Twitter for a reopening at the end of next week.
After almost 4 weeks of confinement, we must consider a new health protocol allowing traders to resume their activities, from November 27, while respecting barrier gestures. The state must be there, the survival of our businesses depends on it

“After almost four weeks of confinement, we must consider a new health protocol allowing traders to resume their activities, from November 27, in compliance with barrier gestures, writes the elected official on the social network to the blue bird. The State must be there, the survival of our businesses depends on it. “
Friday, November 27 is the date of “Black Friday”. On Wednesday, the Minister of the Economy had asked the actors of the distribution to “examine all the possibilities of shifting this operation which does not make sense in the current circumstances”.
