The notice issued appeared on social media and was posted on various Facebook pages. According to the notice, disinfection work was to take place subjected under the Health and Safety Act.

However, on the mall’s Facebook page, many were concerned about the closure. Facebook user, Adam Salam inquired if the shut down was due to a discovery of a positive case and if so, shouldn’t there be contact tracing done?
