The councillor for Markets at the Mijas Town Hall, Verónica Ensberg (PSOE), reported the return to activity of the sector this week. “From the department we have been working so that the markets can restart their activity with all the guarantees of safety and hygiene”, assured the councillor. Ensberg pointed out that the outer perimeter of the areas enabled to carry out this activity, as well as the distance between the stalls and the clientele, will be fenced in: “the capacity will be limited and controlled by the inspection of markets and agents of the local police. In addition, each of the venues will also be washed and disinfected before and after the activity. It will also be mandatory for vendors to wear masks and gloves, in addition to having hydroalcoholic gels available”. The street markets will return at their usual times and days of the week, and they will have a preferential timetable for senior citizens over 65 years of age established from 10 to 11 in the morning in order for this group to avoid queuing. “After having spoken with the Association of Street Vendors and with each of the vendors, all the markets in the municipality restart their activity with normality”, stated councillor Ensberg.
