The Zocalo, although it was not closed, was practically empty: unlike last week, there was no trace of the employees of the restaurants that vocife offers to see the National Palace from Las Terrazas, and there were neither tourists, nor traveling, although althoughThis also had a lot to do with the intense sun that, at three in the afternoon, burned the capital's iron slowly.

“They already told us that the police will say for the seismic alert speakers that we keep.But people do not understand, ”lamented Laura Carvajal, a cleaning of the Iron Palace on November 20, who since yesterday was also notified that the store will not have it again until she reopens next 30 of April.

On the sides of the walk nobody walked, I leave some ‘runner’ or someone who struggled by bicycle taking advantage of the splendid afternoon of sun and clear skies that, paradoxically, the coronavirus is giving to the city thanks to a more than remarkable reduction of everyday traffic.

And in the immediate vicinity of the glorieta of the Diana Hunter, there were only a couple of pedestrians who, excited, stopped reading the billboard of a closed cinepolis that prayed: “The cinema taught us that there is always a happy ending.We are going to miss you, take care of yourself ".

Shopping centers also close their doors

In the Roma neighborhood, the closure of the Palacio de Hierro branch located on Durango Street, took several clients by surprise.The store normally begins to operate at 11am.The rhythm seemed normal because they even observed store personnel enlist in their modules and collection boxes.However, the doors were not opened.

Approximately 25 people waited outside for almost an hour and a half until a security guard informed them that due to the sanitary contingency it had been instructed that neither that branch nor the others in the chain opened their doors, and that the payments were made in line.He said ignoring what the situation would be in the following days, but said that most likely that and the other stores will continue closed.

Some of the clients were upset by the lack of a prior notice on the closure of the branch, and because they considered that Palacio has not given so far any ease or extension for their payments.

The Sears store located in Plaza Insurgentes (Sonora and Insurgentes), in the same colony Roma also did not open its doors.The curtains were down and there was no movement in the whole morning.There were no ads placed to indicate the reason, although the security guards of the square indicated that it was for contingency.

As for the square, it looked semi -via.The cinemex was closed, but also other stores like one of electronics and another of sportswear.

In the food court, the tables were raised, several closed stores, and others, such as McDonalds, were only supply.

The Sanborns branch was open, with half of its tables in its restaurant disabled.The staff of said store said they did not know if this Wednesday they would continue to open.
