Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Police Department and Health Affairs Department teams increased their control with the reopening of Shopping Malls and Public Markets that were closed as part of the fight against the coronavirus outbreak.
Ankara Police started to inspect the workplaces in accordance with the published circulars, especially hygiene and social distance measures, in shopping malls that started their activities again in Başkent.
THERE WILL NOT BE BORN FROM THE RULES
Stating that they attach importance to the works prioritizing the public health within the scope of the measures to combat the coronavirus epidemic, the Head of the Police Department Mustafa Koç stated that the inspections will continue without interruption and gave the following information:
“We have created many teams. Our teams have tightened their inspections in shopping malls, hairdressers and hairdressers all over Ankara. Our mobile teams are also ready to evaluate the notifications to be sent to Başkent 153. The rule of 10 percent will be applied in shopping malls and 8 percent rule in the workplaces in the mall. 8 percent of the square meter and 10 percent of the staff will be accepted. In our controls, we see that ground adhesives are adhered to protect the waiting distances in front of the elevator and warnings that limit the number of customers in the elevator are written. In elevators, the stickers should be glued so that the customers have their backs facing each other and their faces facing the walls. The same alerts should be on the escalators. Hand sanitizers should also be kept in various places in the shopping mall. Children and shopping carts should not be shared. Therefore, they need to be separated and tied. Measures such as distance protection, using half of the test cabinets, not trying to hang the tried clothes again for 24 hours and keeping hand disinfectant in the safe should be taken in the workplaces. Some stores are not open, but open stores are overcoming their shortcomings. We warned stores that did not fill their deficiencies, for example, lack of floor adhesives. We carry out inspections according to the decisions of the Sanitary Board. Since tradesmen are in a crisis environment, we do not prefer methods such as writing a penalty, applying a closing penalty or canceling a license. We struggle to protect the health of the people. We prefer to remedy deficiencies and deficiencies. We act with the responsibility of providing the service to the citizen and fulfilling our duty as a municipality. ”
