  • Most shops and stores are open but may have limited opening hours.
  • Many museums are open but may have limited opening hours (check opening hours before visiting).
  • Some cinemas and theatres are open (check availability before visiting).
  • Public transport is in operation, but may be limited. Please check regional services for details and follow the guidelines on domestic travel and public transport.
