Sellers are only permitted to offer their wares if they wear face masks, customers can only enter if they also wear face masks or otherwise cover their mouths and noses. Compliance is monitored by security staff on the spot.

The open-air market is private property, a parking fee is therefore still charged, with the usual rates.

Social distancing rules are continously announced through the loudspeakers.

In addition to the regular staff of PVh Zrt., 40-45 additional temporary employees will be present monitoring and coordinating the location of sellers and ensuring the social distancing rules for customers.

The open-air market is exempt from the regulation regarding the commercial activities of the elderly above the age of 65.

We have closed down the open-air market at the start of the new coronavirus emergency situation in order to slow down the spread of the virus. Therefore, the municipality of Pécs and PVh Zrt. retain the right to limit entry and impose limitations on the number of people present at the open-air market in case a crowd starts forming.
