Shopping centers reopen with capacity restrictions and strict protection measures | Radio Asturias

With the phase 2 de-escalation, which we opened this Monday in Asturias, the shopping centers have opened their doors after more than two months of closure. And they have been able to do so by complying with strict health protocols to avoid possible coronavirus infections, including limited capacity. No more than 30% of the total capacity and no more than 40% in each establishment installed inside; common spaces can only be used for transit; and no toy libraries. There are also hydroalcoholic gel dispensers everywhere, marks to keep interpersonal distance, differentiated entry and exit circuits, methacrylate screens in the boxes and posters that remind us of the obligation to use the masks.

Throughout the morning people have gradually been encouraged, most of them went to a fixed shot, to buy, but there have also been people who have gone to look, that attitude so typical of the consumers. No riots, but there was a constant drip of people who came on this first day of opening to shopping centers such as El Corte Inglés on Uría street, or Salesas, both in Oviedo.

For the Merchants at the Salesas Shopping Center, in Oviedo, being able to open has been a relief, and although they are aware that sales will recover little by little, they are quite satisfied and even in some cases surprised with the movement of this first day.
