Food consumption is allowed only on the terraces. It is also allowed to try on clothes and shoes. 

The training practices in gyms must be carried out at a distance of 1.5 metres, with no more than 10 participants in group activities. All fitness appliances will be disinfected after each client and the service rooms (bathrooms, changing rooms and toilets) will be used under strict hygiene.
