Supermarkets, malls take precautions against COVID-19 01-14-2021
Shanghai s supermarkets, catering businesses, malls and office buildings are taking stricter measures to prevent gatherings and the spread of coronavirus.
At the Cloud Nine Shopping Mall in Changning District, everyone must have their temperature checked by infrared thermometers before entry and staff have been told to wear masks, said Li Jiajun, the mall’s executive director.
Customers arriving by car will also have their temperatures checked by security staff. “If the car’s license plate indicates north China, where some areas have recently become COVID-19 hotspots, the driver will be required to leave visitors’ names, license plate number and entry time for emergency tracking,” Li said.
