Two department stores in Tienmu closed for disinfection 有確診者足跡  天母2百貨公司停業1天清消

Presenter: Numerous Taipei City department stores and cinemas took one day off for disinfection after visitors were confirmed with COVID-19. 

Takashimaya department store in Tienmu is closed for a day on Monday, Sept. 20 for thorough disinfection after a confirmed case visited during the Mid-Autumn Festival holidays.

Shopper: “ I'm not worried. I just make sure I wear a mask whenever I go out and protect myself properly. The coronavirus is here to stay for a long while.”

The nearby Sogo department store closed earlier at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept 19, and stayed closed on Monday, Sept. 20 for the same reason. Shoppers who wanted to do some Mid-Autumn shopping were a little disappointed when they found out.

Reporter vs Shopper:" I made a trip for nothing. (Are you surprised to find out). Yeah, I didn't know about the news at all.”

Shopper 2:” I'll try to stay home because of this. (The confirmed case) probably came the day before; I don't think it's that serious.”

Both department stores in Shilin District will reopen on the 21st. In Dazhi, Miramar Cinemas is also closed for a day on Monday the 20th because a movie-goer who has been later confirmed with COVID-19, had visited Saturday the 18th, the first day of the long weekend. Miramar shopping mall remains in normal operation.

Shopper 2: ” My family, the kids, the grandchildren, wanted to come out for a walk, so we just decided to come out. That's all.”

Ou Chia-ling, Senior Specialist, Dept. of Health, Taipei City:” It is true that a few who had visited those department stores and the cinema got tested positive. The Department of Health is currently investigating the travel and contact history of these confirmed cases. The department stores and the cinema are temporarily closed and undergoing disinfection.”

The Department of Health will announce further details to the travel and contact history of these confirmed cases after the investigation has been completed. 

中秋連假第三天，台北市天母的大葉高島屋因為有確診者足跡，停業一天清消。

民眾：「不會擔心啊，因為口罩戴好就好了，防護裝備做好就好了，因為它就是一個長遠的疫情。」

鄰近的天母SOGO也有確診者足跡，19日晚間八點半提前閉店，20日停業一天全店清消，有民眾趁著假中秋連假要來採買，沒想到卻撲了空。

記者v.s民眾2：「白跑一趟本來要買東西的，(會有一點驚訝是不是)，對啊，不知道這個。」

民眾3：「會減少出門因為那一天，(確診者)應該是前一天來，然後所以應該是還好。」

士林區兩間百貨因為有確診者足跡，20日暫停營業一天，21日恢復營運，而中山區的美麗華影城，因為連假第一天有確診者足跡，20日影城停業一天，但百貨照常營運。

民眾4：「家人小孩子孫子，他們也想出來。約好，就好好好，就出來了。」

北市衛生局專門委員 歐佳齡：「那個的確是有確診者足跡，不過衛生局目前正在做，相關的疫情調查工作，那一些場所目前也是都在，暫時停止營業清消中。」

中秋連假期間，台北市兩間百貨、一間影城暫停營業一天，相關的匡列和採檢人數，將等待衛生局疫調完成後，再對外公布結果。
