A vast amount of people still perceive shopping as a form of leisure.
With the exception of supermarkets, all shops are currently closed in hard-lockdown Germany. France and Belgium have been in a similar situation several weeks back. Business owners have noticed a growing presence of shoppers from the Greater Region, who flock to Luxembourg City despite restrictions in place.
Earlier in December Bettel had reiterated that shopping should not be an excursion. Yet despite corona restrictions shops in Luxembourg have been very busy in recent weeks. Even shopping Sundays proved more eventful than expected. A business owner in the Grand Rue explained that, for instance, when France closed down more French people came to shop in Luxembourg.
