SURABAYA - A total of 24 malls or shopping centers resumed operations during the extension of PPKM level 3-4. In Surabaya, visitors must be fully vaccinated to enter the mall.

"So visitors who haven't been vaccinated and have no interest, don't need to go to the mall first," said Head of the East Java Shopping Center Management Association (APPBI), Sutandi Purnomosidi, in Surabaya, Tuesday, August 10.

Therefore, Sutandi said that people who want to enter the mall must download the PeduliLindung application. In the application, visitors must fill in their personal data and then scan the barcode prepared by the mall.

"Because when the vaccine barcode is visible, if it is green, the visitor has been vaccinated twice, if it is yellow, it is only once vaccine. If it is red it has not been vaccinated, and it is not allowed to enter," he said.

Sutandi also reminded mall visitors not to bring children under 12 years old, because they are prohibited from entering the mall. This is a central government decision rule that must be obeyed.

"Children aged 12 and under are not allowed to go to malls, so children's play areas and cinemas are not allowed to open," he said.

In addition, restaurants or places to eat inside the mall are prohibited from facilitating shoppers to eat on the spot. Buyers are only allowed to buy to be wrapped and taken home.

"But this applies to tenants or restaurants that have outdoor space. If it's only indoor, it only serves take away," he said.
