While many shoppers may be cautious about heading out on Friday (June 19) – the first day of phase two of the reopening of the economy – shopping malls and their operators are going all out to ensure that everything is safe and ready should the crowds return.
At CapitaLand malls, such as Ion Orchard and Bukit Panjang Plaza, directional signs for shoppers coming from the train stations are up, while floor markings and poles for queues are being set up at entrances to manage human traffic and space out the queues.
At Nex, more employees will be deployed at entrances to manage the anticipated increase in shoppers and ensure that those in line to enter the mall stay at least 1m apart.
It will open just five of its 28 entrances but is prepared to open more if needed, said its spokesman.
Shopping mall Paragon will have regular public announcements reminding shoppers to maintain a safe distance.
These measures are on top of other safe distancing steps retail establishments have to implement, including limiting customer numbers, using the SafeEntry check-in system and making sure common areas are cleaned regularly.
