Several Asian shops in Xàbia close "for holidays" in the face of the coronavirus alarm

The vast majority of Asian shops in Xàbia have closed in recent days. In a matter of hours they have hung the sign closed for holidays. Bazaars and restaurants are with the shutter pulled and several of them without an opening date announcement, and those that indicate it, mark about a month. A suspicious situation that has caused alarm among citizens.

The real reason is none other than the fear of getting it, as a Chinese merchant has declared to this media outlet. And is that, of the many shops that are in Xàbia, yesterday, only Wednesday, about three had their doors open, although not for long. In fact, preventive measures have been taken in one of the bazaars, installing a "species" of plastic lamp to avoid contact with the client, as well as the use of gloves to attend to the counter.

"These are only measures to avoid contagion in the event that there is someone infected. It is our way of preventing while this health alarm lasts", indicated the manager of a Chinese business.

Also, regarding the closure of his compatriots, the businessman has indicated that it is a particular decision of each one, "My brother-in-law has temporarily closed his store for fear of getting it. He transferred his concern to the boss in China and he has given permission to close. I will keep it open for now, if the situation does not worsen, until Sunday and it is likely that next Monday close the doors if the alarm has increased. "

For some Asians, the Spanish are living this pandemic in a calm way, "but in our country it is seen differently and for this reason we fear and make these decisions", indicates the merchant.
