Last week, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that the country will normalize gradually from May to July. Shopping malls, ordered closed on March 21 to stem the spread of COVID-19, are reopening two weeks before the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which normally spurs a spike in shopping. Ahead of the reopening, the Council of Shopping Centers said that personnel and customers should wear masks and continue to observe social distancing rules in all malls. Mall administrators should also use thermometers, decrease elevator capacities or limit usage, provide disinfectants, and take measures to prevent crowds, the group said in a press release. Shops are also being told to encourage contactless payment methods. The country's Interior Ministry also allowed barber shops, beauty salons and hairdressers to begin work as of May 11, with customers to be served via appointments. Staff will use disposable towels and aprons, as well as face masks, while serving customers, who will be allowed to take their masks off depending on the service. Barbers are expected not to raise prices. Numerous factories in the country will also restart production in the next week.
