A chain clothing-retail company plans to open its first store in Saskatoon.
There will be a grand opening for the new H&M, Hennes & Mauritz Inc., location at 10 a.m. on Thursday at Midtown mall.
Customers are expected to have access to the bi-level, 23,000-square-foot store with fashion collections for ladies, men, and teens, with separate shop-in-shops for accessories, according to a press release.
“As health and safety is a top priority for H&M, they have taken precautionary measures to ensure the store is safe for both employees and customers, based on recommendations from local authorities,” read a statement from Midtown.
“Some of the health and safety measures that have been put into place include daily deep cleaning, prioritizing card payments, fitting room closures, pausing garment collection, directional signage and (personal protective equipment) for all the store employees.”
There is a second H&M store in Saskatchewan, located at the Cornwall Centre in Regina.
Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out. In situations where you can’t keep a safe distance from others, public health officials recommend the use of a non-medical face mask or covering to prevent spreading the respiratory droplets that can carry the virus. In some provinces and municipalities across the country, masks or face coverings are now mandatory in indoor public spaces.
