SM City Puerto Princesa started putting alcohol dispensers at its entrances, comfort rooms, and offices as a precautionary measure against the spread of the novel coronavirus (nCoV).
The mall management encourages all their employees and customers to sanitize their hands upon entering the mall, or after using the comfort rooms.
“At SM, we value our customers’ safety and general wellbeing. This initiative does not mean that the novel coronavirus has reached Puerto Princesa, but we would like to provide a safe environment to our mallgoers,” said Darrell Sy, assistant mall manager of SM City Puerto Princesa.
Aside from alcohol dispensers, escalator handrails, elevators, railings, and all parts with frequent customer contact are being regularly sanitized.
Security guards of SM City Puerto Princesa are also wearing facemasks for health and sanitary purposes.
Mallgoers who feel unwell may proceed to the Mall Clinic at the lower ground level for immediate medical attention.
