Social distancing in shopping malls and some musing on protective masks!

in food •  5 years ago 

Under national lockdown, only drug stores, markets, take away food stalls are allowed to operate. So, a new social distancing procedure has been invented by all shopping malls where there are lots of restaurants. Instead of having all the delivery bikers crowding in front of restaurants, there are chairs for these bikers to sit on the ground floor, each chair is positioned about one meter apart! This is to prevent infected people who are asymptomatic from spreading the coronavirus!

To cool and calm people down as they were being forced to behave in certain ways, free bottle water was given freely to everyone to compensate for the inconvenience. This actually worked to enable cooperation from delivery bikers and customers.

Notice that everyone must wear a protective mask! People who do not wear masks are not allowed into shopping malls! The other day I was told to put on my mask before entering into a nearby mall. Last week, in another mall, I was told over a loud speaker’s announcement to put my masks on! Other people just avoided to get into the lift with me because I didn’t wear my mask! I find it very annoying having to breath through thick cotton mask! But I see the point that I could be asymptomatic while spreading the virus to others. So, I try to wear my mask so others would be more at ease! Nowadays, people who are not wearing masks are considered antisocial, reckless and selfish!

I took the above photo from the third floor of the mall. You could see rows of chairs for delivery bikers, and rows of tables representing all the restaurants opening for take away food. There’s a table where staff would call out bikers to the particular restaurant’s table to fetch the take away food.

People could walk up to any restaurant’s table to order their take away food. When the food is ready, it would be sent from the kitchen to the table. This way, people will try to keep at least one meter distance. There are several promotions from restaurants with special reduction in prices. I think the person who has initiated this methods for handling online ordering of take away food via several applications and delivery systems by bikers is a genius! This scheme helps to safe hundred of jobs and create new job opportunity for bikers.

Challenging times indeed! Stay safe @kaminchan

Thank you very much for your kind support.

Yes! I wonder how many years will this coronavirus carry on!?

Hope for the best!

Best wishes.

Yes, it sure is social distancing. We are the same here except they only let so many people into the stores at one time. Stay safe.

Thank you very much.
Oh! Some small stores also allow fifteen customers at one time in the shops.

Cheers.

You know what is really scary to me.... when some people inevitably stop listening who will be doing the policing if these aren't laws authorities can enforce?

What you described in Thailand is very similar to here in South Korea.
Keep safe and wear a mask everywhere you go.

Thank you very much!
I now know it’s a serious bioweapon! Very serious impact on the body and mind.

We have law-abiding people who go not only in masks, but also in gloves!
The distance should be 2 meters!
