In a statement on Monday Vaal Mall said this is incorrect and untrue.
“We can, however, confirm that positive cases were reported at Dis-chem, ABSA, Woolworths and the Centre Management Office.”
According to the statement all of these stores were closed temporarily to allow for professional decontamination companies to sanitise and deep clean the premises.
“ABSA and Dis-chem have re-opened for trade already and the Centre Management Offices and Woolworths have re-opened on the 29th of June.”
“All stores, as well as the Vaal Mall Management are taking the necessary precautions to safeguard staff and customers in line with the regulatory requirements and all sanitation measures continue. We assure you that the health and safety of our shoppers, staff and tenants remains of utmost importance to us.
Vaal Mall has sanitation stations available throughout the mall which we encourage all shoppers to make use of. We have a strict “No Mask, No Entry” policy and we encourage our shoppers to adhere to social distancing guidelines as well as sanitise and wash their hands frequently.”
