ALOSRA Supermarket, which temporarily shut down its branch in Saar, has resumed operations.
It comes as a suspected Covid-19 case has tested negative.
The suspected case was announced on March 24 leading to a decision by the group to shut down the Najibi Centre outlet in Saar.
The team member tested negative but as a precaution he will be spending the recommended time in self-isolation.
“We understand that our move to close the Najibi centre outlet has caused concern and stress, but we feel that we have a responsibility to help protect the communities we are privileged to serve and as such felt that we needed to act quickly and transparently the moment we had news of a potential threat,” said the company in a statement yesterday.
“We do think that as all of us try to battle this global threat it is essential that we work together to minimise the threat of transmission calmly, professionally with both sensitivity and kindness.”
“Alosra Najibi Centre outlet has since been professionally disinfected and sanitised by a certified service provider and authorities concerned.”
It added that all operations will continue as normal as all government and public health authorities advice is being followed and proactively implemented.
