Mayor Zamora added that he conducted a surprise check at the shopping center to make sure if the sanitation and disinfection of the mall and its surroundings were being followed.
The prayer hall has also been sanitized and reopened to the public as per the recommendation of the Department of Health (DOH).
"Nagbukas na siya base sa recommendation ng DOH. (It has now opened based on the recommendation of the DOH), 24 hours after sanitation. Kaya nung Sabado ng gabi ay bukas na ito (That’s why on Saturday night it reopened)," said Zamora.
A satellite area has been set up at the shopping center for those who will feel the symptoms of COVID-19 where they can have themselves checked.
“Tayo ay nag-set up ng satellite area dito mismo malapit sa prayer room. Kung sakaling may shoppers na magkakaroon ng sintomas ng COVID-19 ay agad-agad puwede pumunta dito," the city mayor said.
(We set up a satellite area near the prayer room in case a shopper might have the symptoms of COVID-19 they can immediately go there.)
