Today was the first day of relaxations for corona measures. Think of things like:
- The curfew has been lifted.
- Restaurant terraces are allowed to open from 12:00-18:00 daily.
- Appointments are no longer required for shopping at non-essential stores.
Some stores (especially Ikea and Primark) have been bombed with an influx of clients due to the restrictions being lifted today. Primark is a discount clothing store – it is quite easy to find a T-shirt there for €2-3.
Enter Google trying to tell you exactly how busy it was by the Ikea in Delft (screenshot was around lunchtime):
Check out that red bar on the left. It can’t even fit on the graph. I checked 10 minutes before they closed and it still looked like that, although it didn’t dip quite as far below the graph. But that could be because they were closing in 10 minutes…
