Thus the great fashion stores prepare for reopening

Las grandes marcas de moda low-cost como Zara o Mango ya han comenzado a diseñar planes e implementar medidas para prevenir el contagio en sus tiendas. Y parece que la tendencia esta temporada serán las colas.

In a first phase, and in the absence of the government, some basic changes will be applied from the Government, some basic changes will be applied, such as the reduction of opening schedules, the capacity control in the stores and the comprehensive disinfection of the establishments.To all of them we must add the security protocols of each brand, which have already launched in some European countries.

Gels, gloves and masks will be the ‘new normality’

The use of masks and gloves will also move to stores.Both in the signatures of the Inditex group and in Mango, store and warehouse employees will have to use a single -use mask and gloves during the day.The same that has happened so far in supermarkets.

In addition, all stores will have disinfectant gel in the areas of boxes, testers, warehouses and at the entrance to be used by customers.In the case of Mango, gloves will be provided at the entrance door.

Closed, restricted or disinfected testers

Los probadores son una de las zonas más críticas en las tiendas. Por eso, la mayoría de marcas ha situado sobre ellos el foco de atención. Se acabó lo de entrar con otra persona y dejar prendas amontonadas en un estante al terminar de probarlas. En H&M han cortado por lo sano y han decidido dejarlos cerrados en las pocas tiendas que ya han abierto en algunos países del norte de Europa. Primark se plantea hacer lo mismo.

In mango they restrict access and intersperse an available tester with another closed in stores that have begun to open in Germany or Austria.In addition, the clothes that customers have been tested or returned will remain in quarantine for 48 hours.It is a measure that will also adopt the brands of the Tendam group, such as Women’s Secret or Cortefiel, which will also disinfect these garments with a hot steam and pressure treatment.

Inditex proposes in a document collected by fifitions that the protocol also includes restrictions to maintain a security distance.Every time a person leaves the tester, that space will be disinfected.

Straight lines and temperature control

To control that social and security distance be maintained, the stores of all inditex brands will change the form of the row to pay.Instead of the usual in Zig-Zag, a straight line will be maintained by marking the minimum distance indicated by health.

Group employees will undergo temperature controls every day before accessing their job, which will not go if they exceed 37.5 degrees.From the company they have also stated that people who are risk group are not incorporated into the first openings.

Reopening dates are still unknown

Although protocols and security measures are clear, there is still no date to open the clothing stores of the big chains.In the de -escalable plan presented by Pedro Sánchez, it was confirmed that the small trade will open with a third of the capacity from phase 1, which begins on May 11 throughout Spain except in four islands of the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, which theMonday 4.

The key is what is considered small trade.In Germany, one of the first European countries to raise restrictions, have considered that all establishments of less than 800 square meters are.

What is clear is that for every 20 square meters there can only be one person, to maintain the social distance within the store as imposed by the de -scalled plan.Something that will already happen in bookstores since May 4.
