Manager of Cuenca shopping center where there were crowds says that the capacity allowed in the Mall was not disrespected

The meeting held with two tiktokers on Saturday afternoon was promoted on the social networks of the private business.

After the gathering of people at an event held in the Mall del Río shopping center, in Cuenca, this Monday a representative of said establishment referred to the episode captured in viralized videos on social networks.

The meeting with two tiktokers on Saturday afternoon it was promoted on the social networks of the private business. And after the massive encounter, they began a legal process for serious administrative misconduct.

Sitting in the main chair in the hall of heroes of the Government of Azuay, Juan Fernando Cordero, spokesman for the private business, admitted that as organizers “we never measured the magnitude that the issue of social networks was going to generate.”

From their perspective, the capacity allowed in the shopping center was not breached, the biosecurity regulations were met and only once the event took place did they notice that “the boys had a lot of followers.”

Due to this event, which generated questions on digital platforms, the Azuay Police General Intendant, Andrés Vicuña, assured that they placed a closing stamp in the administrator’s office.

He justified that the business was not closed because within the sanctioning process the type of fault must be established and investigated. He pointed out that the event was held in the food court but not “inside any of the shops in the entire shopping complex.”

The concern is not only due to the agglomeration, but because in the last eight days in Cuenca, COVID-19 infections had a rebound of up to 200 cases per day, according to official figures. (I)
