Panel SA: Mall tenants ask for a reduction in operation after the advance of the ômicron

Ablos, an association that brings together store chains such as TNG, Gregory, Any Any, Morana and Khelf, will take a request to malls for opening hours to be reduced for a few weeks, according to Mauro Francis, president of the entity.

The shorter uptime would help retailers deal with the problem of a shortage of employees who have been laid off after contracting Covid or the flu in recent days. The proposal that has been discussed by the shopkeepers would be to shorten the service to just one shift at this moment of the most acute crisis of the contagion.

For Francis, the measure would also be timely because it would allow cost reduction at a time when the flow of customers is also lower. He says he does not intend to ask for a rebate on rent.

The recent escalation of Covid and flu is already affecting the operation of several sectors, from hospitals to restaurants. In aviation, Azul announced the cancellation of several flights after the increase in cases of crew members on leave last week.
