Port of Spain malls closed, merchants sell outside
Downtown Owners and Merchants Association president Gregory Aboud
At least one Port of Spain mall was closed down by police on Friday, a day after new and tighter restrictions were implemented by the Prime Minister on Thursday.
The mall – Bradford City Mall – was the last of several walk-through malls and plazas that closed their gates in the capital, leaving business owners in the malls to stop business completely or sell their goods on the street.
John Saba, store manager at Bradford Mall, told Newsday the store partitioned itself off from the rest of the mall, but police still said it was in breach of the regulations.
