Shopping centres are to reopen on Monday, and people can resume visiting loved ones in nursing homes and residential care facilities as the restrictions aimed at suppressing the coronavirus continue to ease. “We’re expecting queues outside some retailers and we’ll be monitoring footfall in the centre overall,” a spokeswoman for Dundrum Shopping Centre in south Dublin said. “But we’re hoping it won’t come to that.”People entering the shopping centre will be asked to walk in using a “one-way system” and will be encouraged to wear face masks. Like many other shopping centres, some of Dundrum’s outlets, such as supermarkets, opticians and pharmacies, were already open, but now fashion outlets and other shops will be reopening. The Government had originally not envisaged reopening shopping centres until August 10th.
