Local official weighs in on malls being allowed to open in Phase One

There's a lot of guidance now released by the state about what companies have to do in order to reopen as of May 20th.  But there are a number of industries that are not opening in Phase One.  Malls will be allowed to reopen in Connecticut as part of Phase One on May 20th.   Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton says crowd control will be key to protecting public health.  He says the facility can safely open, but visitors should follow regulations to make sure they don't get sick or get others sick.

Boughton says consumers should take precautions when patronizing any reopened business by wearing a mask, washing hands frequently and not congregating in large groups.

Boughton says post-May 20th, the city will be inspecting to ensure establishments are adhering to guidelines.  He says those not following the regulations could be issued a ticket, or worse

Boughton and Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce President PJ Prunty have formed a local reopening committee.  They'll parce through the guidelines and help break it down for businesses so they know exactly what the regulations are calling for when it comes to getting operations back open safely.
