NEW SAFETY MEASURES, GUIDELINES AT ORTIGAS MALLS

-

As Metro Manila shifted to modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), Ortigas Malls has rolled out new measures and guidelines. There are three things to take note of before heading down to Greenhills, Tiendesita­s, Estancia and Industria:

Readjusted business hours—

Ortigas Malls are now open with readjusted business hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Retail stores and restaurant­s within the malls have likewise reopened. Ortigas Malls is focused on ensuring everyone’s safety, and those vulnerable will not be allowed entry. Those who appear sickly, or with a body temperatur­e above 37.5, and those without a mask will not be able to enter the malls.

Sanitation and two-meter rule on social distancing—

When enering Ortigas Malls, you will be asked to step on the sanitized foot mat, and your temperatur­e will be checked. All guests must disinfect with alcohol and wear their mask at all times. Elevators, escalators, restrooms and other key areas are sanitized every 30 minutes. Handwashin­g guidelines are also placed in all restrooms.

In order to maintain minimal physical contact among mall customers, each store has its own sign that says how many customers can be accommodat­ed at any given time. Elevators will also strictly allow only 50 percent of the normal capacity. For escalator use, a three-step gap is encouraged.

Escalator and elevator guidelines will also be on signs before entering to limit the number of passengers. Roving mall guards will also be present to help remind customers of the social-distancing protocols.

Most importantl­y, everyone is advised to maintain a social distancing of two meters.

Click & Collect Service—

Ortigas Malls is still continuing its Click & Collect (C&C) Service that provides a designated pick-up area for customers who make online purchases from mall tenants. There will also be designated parking areas for online delivery platforms.
