An immediate closure of malls in Delhi was mandated Friday.
NEW DELHI, India — An immediate closure of malls in Delhi was mandated Friday, along with a suspension of all nonessential services until March 31 in view of the growing number of coronavirus cases over the last week.
On Thursday, in a televised speech, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to people to stay home as much as possible for the next few weeks, and set a daylong curfew on Sunday to prevent community transmission. At this time malls have been ordered for closure till March 31 in most states, as have movie theaters, schools and colleges.
“Right now it may well be mall versus non-mall — but either way the footfall in the stores that are open has dropped dramatically, except in the case of grocery and essential items. At this time customers are not looking for fashion, footwear or anything discretionary,” he observed.
