Here is an extract of the CM’s statement:
For those reasons, we are all also agreed that we will open non-essential shops, gyms and beauty salons as from the 1st of February.
We will, however, not permit non-essential retail to operate on Saturdays or Sundays.
Those were the days when we experienced accumulations of people in Main Street at the time of the last unlocking.
To avoid that, we will permit the opening of non-essential retail only from Monday to Friday for the first three weeks of the month.
Again, after the 22nd, we believe we may be able to take a different position.
We will review this every 7 days also.
But we expect we will not permit Saturday and Sunday opening until the 27th and 28th of February.

Gibraltar retail is entering the real post-Treaty trading environment. GFSB Chairperson Owen Smith argues that faster support, better infrastructure and a stronger collective business voice are now needed.
Gibraltar is pitching airlines a much bigger regional market after the Treaty, but new routes require confidence years ahead. As Spanish election politics gets louder, can Gibraltar sell both the opportunity and the certainty behind it?
Changes to Gibraltar’s procurement rules have triggered a debate about how public concessions are awarded. What has changed, and what does it mean for businesses competing for Government work?
Personalised pricing allows businesses to tailor offers using customer data. As regulators examine the practice, Gibraltar firms should understand how it works and the implications for trust, transparency and reputation.
Gibraltar’s first detailed Treaty relief scheme is now in place, but businesses are still waiting for the full picture on wider modernisation support.
