Melrose Arch cares about the health and safety of all our customers and tenants. Additional hygiene measures such as hand sanitisers can be found in our Retail Galleria. Our cleaning products have been replaced with World Health Organisation-recommended chemicals and our cleaning teams regularly sanitise high touch areas in all parts of the precinct.
Centre Management has cancelled all events, children’s entertainment and the Melrose Arch Market until further notice in a bid to encourage social distancing. Trading hours will remain the same, with the exception of Woolworths, which will close at 18h00 instead of 18h30 as previously.
Our restaurants and liquor store will abide by the government’s ruling that all establishments – restaurants, bars, clubs and shebeens – that sell liquor must close at 18h00 on weekdays and Saturdays, and at 13h00 on Sundays and public holidays. The establishments will only open at 09h00 the next morning. They will also ensure that there are no more than 50 people in the premises at any one time.
Members of Melrose Arch Precinct Management have met with representatives from the Department of Health and our Compliance Officer has arranged with the department to dispatch a team to visit all our restaurants to educate staff on preventative steps to take against coronavirus.
Medi Response is based at Melrose Arch and is on high alert and ready to provide medical assistance and advice if necessary.
