Tell the affected staff, your customers and the rest of the world, that not every single infection results in immediate sudden death! 

If they close the branch from March 30 to April 13, what's with that "major cleaning"? Looks like that's just for show, as the virus would be inactive after those two weeks anyway.

 

That looks like the Khlong Toei market which is usually crowded with buyers and sellers. It won't be good if it spreads from seller to seller there.
