A handful of shoppers sit at Ala Moana on Wednesday.
Ala Moana Center is cutting back its hours, starting Monday the mall hours will be noon to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday; some restaurants may be open later.
Hawaii’s largest mall is usually open from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The coronavirus pandemic has kept many shoppers at home. Traffic at the mall last week dropped.
“We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak, in particular the potential impact within our local community,” the mall operators said on its website. “There is nothing more important than maintaining a safe environment, and we will be taking all necessary precautions for the well-being of our entire shopping center community.”
On Sundays the mall will close at 6 p.m., instead of the current 7 p.m. close.
