Only 7 non-trading Sundays left in 2020

The trade ban will apply on all Sundays except seven during the year starting from 2020. Trading will be allowed on two consecutive Sundays before Christmas, one before Easter and an additional four last Sundays of January, April, June, and August. This year the trade ban was not in force on the last Sunday of the month. In 2019 there are still two trading Sundays left -  before Christmas (December 22) and December 29.

The first stage of the introduction of the law restricting trade on Sunday began on March 1, 2018. From that day on, two trading Sundays were in force each month - the first and last. From the beginning of 2019, only the last Sunday in a month is without the trade ban. The ban has never applied to the stores where their owners stand behind the counter.
