They’re Covid-19 Complaint

We know that most of us are wary of the whole pandemic situation. Which is is why we either don’t visit the more commercial movie cinemas around the city or simply just do not go at all. With the Egrek Cinema, they understand your concern and have gone above and beyond to ensure your safety and comfort. These are the precautions they have implemented at the cinema:

• Every person entering the premises must wear a mask, which will be worn at all times but may be removed for eating and drinking.
• Every person will have their temperature screened and registered.
• Cinema seating is limited to 20 seats, to practise social distancing.
• All the windows are open throughout the day and the ventilation system is switched on 15-minutes before screening and is kept on during the movie.
• The cinema, foyer and toilets are cleaned and sanitised thoroughly after every screening.
• Hand sanitiser is available throughout the premises.
• Covid-19 prevention and protocol signage is posted through the premises, including 1.5m social distance markers.
