  • On May 30, the shops in the Part-Dieu shopping center resumed service with the prefect's authorization.
  • The CGT denounces "a health hazard for customers and store employees", since the mask is not mandatory and that there are too many customers.
  • The Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Group, which manages the premises, has deployed hydroalcoholic gel terminals “at strategic locations in the center”. It also indicates that it follows the visitors 'flow' in real time.

"A health hazard for customers and store employees". The CGT denounced Friday in a statement the reopening of the shops of the Part-Dieu shopping center in Lyon and the about-face operated by the prefect of the Rhône. The latter had issued an order to maintain the closure of the center, of more than 120,000 square meters, until July 10 for health reasons related to the coronavirus. A decision confirmed on May 28 by the judge in summary proceedings. On May 30, however, the stores resumed service with authorization from the prefect

“We know that political and economic pressures have been strong, particularly from the Center's lessor and the merchants' union. But in concrete terms, how can a shopping center such as Part Dieu ensure all of the recommended sanitary measures? “, Wonders the CGT, protesting against the absence of a“ gauge at the entrances ”from the center and a single direction of traffic. "There is no wire guide but simple arrows on the ground, which customers do not respect", he continues, constant from the reopening of Saturday May 30, "an impressive number of customers".

Wearing a mask only recommended

Another problem raised: the fact that wearing a mask is not compulsory. "The economic emergency must not crush the health emergency", continue the union representatives demanding "at least the wearing of a mandatory mask" for customers and the definition of "a maximum gauge of customers" for the center.

Currently wearing a mask is simply "recommended" for customers. The Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Group, which manages the premises, has deployed hydroalcoholic gel terminals “at strategic locations in the center”. He also indicated that he followed the “flow” of visitors in real time in order to “control the number of people present at the same time and limit access if necessary”.
