HELSINKI, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the covid-19 situation improves and government restrictions ease in all of Citycon's markets, all centres are fully open and over 92% of tenants are now open for business. The total footfall is now tracking at 82% compared to 2019. "We see a strong trend towards consumers returning to our centres.

While this is positive news, our focus continues to be ensuring safety and the security for customers, tenants and employees. We have implemented upgraded covid-19 safety measures," says F.
