* First of all, you will be provided with a mask. Disinfection will be given importance at the entrance. When entering, people’s temperature will be measured. Heat measurement will take place via mechanical or thermal cameras.

* It will be given importance to maintain social distance inside. There are many importance such as accepting customers with a 2 meter interval inside and maintaining this distance inside, accepting 1 customer per 10 square meter.

* There are also the duties of the retailer here. They must take serious measures in the cash register, in the locker cabin. Also, it may be necessary to disinfect the escalators every 1 hour, to close the elevators in some places and to frequently ventilate the interior spaces. It must be completely ventilated with natural air.

* In addition to all these, there is also control. I think that together we will ensure that these measures taken in public and private cooperation are fully audited. As shopping malls, we care primarily about public health and employee health.

* For this reason, we want to open with the recommendation of the Scientific Committee, the public recommendation and the demands of our customers.
