Is DMart open today?
Yes, DMart is open today from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. As per reports, all the malls and markets might soon shut down for one month because of the deadly virus that has been spreading. People are seen taking precautions for the same. As per reports, DMart has been allowing only 25 people inside the market to avoid overcrowding.
They are also advising everyone to sanitise their hands before entering. The workers who are working there also have been wearing gloves to avoid any type of contact. Furthermore, the gloves are being changed every 3 hours by the workers.
I am surprised economic Times writes about Dmart as a gainer in CoronaVirus. With huge crowds it qualifies to me as an area that needs the same treatment as a mall. In fact far lesser risk of ppl infected in Trent than say Dmart. Disc- no positions in any and general view
