The Aeon Group reported that it would continue its business after decreasing its business hours at five Aeon supermarkets in Wuhan City, China.

In Wuhan City at present, many citizens are forced to live inconveniently, such as the cessation of the operation of public transportation throughout the city due to the effect of the spread of pneumonia caused by the new-type coronavirus.

Five Aeon supermarkets handle foods and sanitation-related supplies, which are essential products of local citizens, and are also requested by the government to continue stable supplies. Therefore, the company will continue its business with consideration for employee health and safety, reducing business hours.

As for Aeon Mall shopping centres, it is decided to suspend the operation of three malls in the city.
