During my hours-long daily walks all around Damascus, I've been delighted to note (as always) the calm and people interacting as normal on the streets, but also the re-opening of stores. That started over a week ago, with shops (non-essential) re-opening on alternate days. As of some days ago, they are allowed to open daily till 5 pm. The government continues to find ways to both take precautions and help people survive economically.
