Oslo, Norway, 19 December 2020: Austrian authorities has today yet again, with effect from Monday 28 December 2020, decided to temporarily close down retail trade other than food, pharmacies and other important supply functions in the country as a precautionary measure to contribute to limit the contagion of COVID-19. All retail trade, and consequently also the seven XXL stores in Austria, opened as planned on 7 December 2020 after being locked down since 17 November 2020, but will again be closed from Monday 28 December 2020. The temporarily close down of retail trade imposed by the Austrian authorities will last until 17 January 2021.
