The Hankyu Umeda Main Store, a department store in Osaka, has decided to temporarily close some of the sales floors from the 17th because outbreaks of the new coronavirus = clusters have been confirmed mainly in the grocery department.
According to "H2O Retailing", which owns Hankyu Hanshin Department Store, etc., employee infections have been confirmed one after another at "Hankyu Umeda Main Store" in Kita-ku, Osaka, and clusters have been established at health centers. I decided that it happened.
By the 16th, there were 89 infected people, mainly employees in the grocery section on the first basement floor and the accessories and seasonal miscellaneous goods section on the first floor. We have decided to take a leave of absence from the 17th for the time being.
The cause of the cluster is unknown.
At the department store in Osaka, a cluster has been confirmed at the "Hanshin Umeda Main Store" operated by the same company, and the grocery stores on the 1st and 1st basement floors are closed from July 31st to August 19th.
"H2O Retailing" commented, "We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our patronage customers. We will thoroughly clean and disinfect the products and reorganize the situation where you can shop safely." I am.
