Malls
Shopping malls will operate during special hours to take advantage of consumer availability. The establishments will operate as decided by the collective agreement with the workers' union in each municipality.

Lottery Houses
According to Caixa Econômica Federal, the operation of lottery houses is the responsibility of the owners. In other words, each owner will be able to decide for themselves whether to open or close the lottery this Wednesday. However, all lotteries return to normal operation on Thursday.
