Shoppers flock to Central Florida malls ahead of Christmas amid pandemic
The days are ticking down to Christmas and shoppers are out in full force despite the pandemic.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Central Florida malls were packed this weekend less than a week before Christmas.
Even with more people holiday shopping online this year, Central Florida malls were busy on Saturday. The Florida Mall was packed full of people Saturday as many head to the stores to get last-minute gifts.
"It’s super crowded. It’s worse than Black Friday," said shopper Yarelis Velez.
Some stores were taking temperatures before people could walk in and others gave hand sanitizer to customers before they could shop.
