Despite the increase in Covid-19 cases in the Metropolitan Region, which forced the entire territory to go back to Phase 2, the trade union of retail brands asked the Government to enable a “special permission” to visit malls and shopping centers on weekends.
These venues, as they are not essential commerce, must close on Saturdays and Sundays – days when quarantine is in force in the “transition” stage – but Retail Trademarks AG argues that there will be “health effects” by “the concentrations of people during the weekdays“.
Along the same lines, the president of the National Chamber of Commerce (CNC), Manuel Melero, pointed out that “here they pay just for sinners, these are the people who are doing things well, the trade established sanitary, and the authorities do not realize that and continue insisting on a policy that is wrong, force them to close in Phase 2 “.
“We believe that it is essential that established businesses demonstrate reliably that is the safest place for consumersNot so the rest of the trade, which is informal and which is the one that when these mandatory closings come, such as the one that will take place tomorrow and Sunday, as well as the following weekend, is the one that is greatly affected, “he added.
Meanwhile, the Parque Arauco Mall extended its opening hours from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, to alleviate the consequences of the closing of shops on weekends.
