The minister stressed that the decision on summer timings includes opening stores and commercial malls daily from 7 a.m. and closing at 11 p.m. in the summer, provided that the timing will be increased on Thursdays and Fridays and on official holidays and holidays to close at 12 midnight in the summer.
The opening hours for restaurants and cafes, including those in commercial “malls,” will be from 5 a.m. daily and close at 1 a.m. in the summer, with the “Take Away” and the home delivery service for restaurants and cafes continuing 24 hours a day.
