The Minister may also, on such conditions as may be determined by the Government, authorize commercial establishments to carry on their activities on Sundays if the establishments carry on their activities regularly and according to law from Monday to Friday, if they are closed from sunset on Fridays and all day on Saturdays, and if there are never more than three persons in the establishment at the same time to attend to its operation on any day that it is open.
