Businesses across the Rio Grande Valley are starting to reopen to hopefully gain the thousands of dollars they lost because of the coronavirus, but now hygiene is a major part of their business plans.

Doors at La Plaza Mall in McAllen opened at 11 a.m. on Friday and dozens were already in line. People were greeted by a security guard, which will be the temporary normal.

Mall officials say they will control crowds, which will be monitored through cameras and a guard can encourage people to social distance.

No masks are required but highly encouraged and individual stores are responsible for maintaining no more than 25 percent capacity.
