     Amid the pandemic, any prohibited group gathering may raise the risks of transmission of diseases. Members of the public are advised to maintain social distancing and stop gathering. The Police warn protestors to stop all unlawful acts and are closely monitoring the situation. Police may enter the mall to enforce the law.
