KUCHING (June 1): Selected outlets at The Spring Shopping Mall here have reopened for business today after being granted approval by the Ministry of Health (MoH).

“We are delighted to announce that after meeting the full, stringent and extensive sanitisation requirements, the ministry has granted approval and issued the release order to our management on May 30, to reopen the mall on June 1,” said mall spokesperson in a statement yesterday.

It said over 1,000 mass swab-tests were administered on the employees and retailers during the active case detection (ACD) exercises conducted at the mall on May 27 and 28.

“Unfortunately, 11 personnel had tested positive for Covid-19 and them, along with their close-contacts, have been isolated by MoH to mitigate and prevent the spread of the virus,” said the spokesperson.

The outlets reopening today are Ta Kiong Supermarket, Guardian, Aeon Wellness, Liang Sandwich, Tealive, LIao lIao, Boost Juice, GNC, Big Apple Donut, Taka Patisserie, Keeper’s Ground, Aqua S, Gong Cha and Watsons – they are allowed to operate from 10am to 8pm daily.

Sushi King will reopen tomorrow.

“In addition, Ta Kiong Supermarket has initiated a numbering system to limit only 30 shoppers to enter the store at one time, to ensure the set physical-distancing is maintained.

“Free parking is available at the premier and basement carparks; therefore, shoppers may access The Spring mall through the West Court, the East Court and the basement entrances during this Movement Control Order (MCO) period,” said the spokesperson.
