The suspension of activities of retail trade establishments and the provision of services in establishments open to the public that have a sales or service area of ​​less than 200 square meters and which have an autonomous and independent entrance from the outside is also lifted.

In addition, museums, monuments, palaces and archaeological or similar sites, national, regional and municipal, public or private, as well as art galleries and exhibition halls, are open.
Finally, the operation of fairs and markets is permitted – in addition to the sale of food products, which were already permitted – according to the rules set out in this decree.
