Shanghai Blue bottle Coffee closed?!

In order to tie in with the prevention and control measures of the epidemic, the Blue bottle Coffee Yutong store in Shanghai will be closed, according to an official statement. For when the store will resume business, Blue bottle Coffee officials have not given a detailed time, the resumption time will be announced separately.

From 0 to 24:00 on March 19, 17 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 492 cases of asymptomatic infection were added in Shanghai, of which 6 were confirmed cases of previous asymptomatic infection, 9 confirmed cases and 232asymptomatic infection were found in isolation control, and the rest were found in related risk groups, according to the Shanghai Health Commission.

As of the deadline, from 0 to 17:00 on March 20, there were 22 confirmed local COVID-19 cases and 494 asymptomatic infections in Shanghai, and 5 imported cases.

Shanghai Blue bottle Coffee Yutong is the first blue bottle coffee store in mainland China. Because the brand has been focused on producing freshly roasted coffee, blue bottle coffee has been recognized by many coffee fans in other regions, and blue bottle coffee is spread in the coffee circle, which is like a "textbook" in the field of boutique coffee.

With the increasing popularity of blue bottle coffee and delayed entry into the mainland market, mainland partners have long been full of curiosity and expectations for this brand. Therefore, after Blue bottle Coffee announced its entry into the mainland market and determined the address of the first store, everyone was ready to "sprint" and clock in on the opening day.

On the first day of the official opening of the Blue bottle Coffee Shanghai Yutong store, the "grand occasion" of waiting in line was also shared by netizens on various social platforms in real time. Many friends who were "late" that day said they waited nearly 7 hours to enter the store, and then waited 45 minutes from ordering to picking up the meal. You don't have to wait in line at the scene, but you can also feel the crowding of the scene through simple words.

On the one hand, netizens sign in happily and wearily, while on the other hand, netizens frown and worry about whether the queue is safe or not. In the pictures shared by many netizens, we can see that there are small partners who lack awareness of prevention and control in the process of queuing, masks are not worn correctly, and the distance between people is very dense.

In order to alleviate the overcrowding in the store, Blue bottle Coffee also arranges the attendance regularly, 8-10 people at a time. However, the partners who have entered the store do not pick up food and leave, so the number of personnel increases rapidly and slows down both inside and outside the store.

With the decline in the popularity of punching in, the number of people going to sign in three days after opening is significantly reduced, but they still need to wait in line to buy. Since the epidemic in Shanghai began in March, the number of confirmed cases has been on the rise. from 0 to 24:00 on March 17, the number of confirmed cases was as high as 57, but this confirmed number did not affect everyone's heart of queuing for blue bottles of coffee. Many netizens joked: during the epidemic, except for those waiting in line for nucleic acid testing, it is estimated that there are the most people in the queue here!

Recently, Blue bottle Coffee has also taken relevant epidemic prevention measures: can only order remotely, pick up meals outside the door, and cannot enter the restaurant. Even so, netizens are willing to wait in line for more than an hour. As the daily number of confirmed cases in Shanghai remains high, in order to better cooperate with the prevention and control of the epidemic, Blue bottle Coffee officially announced the suspension of business at 9 pm yesterday, and the time for resumption of business will be announced separately. As a result, Blue bottle Coffee may be suspended for more than 48 hours this time.

Recently, the epidemic has become more and more serious. According to the National Health Commission, from 0 to 24:00 on March 19 and from 0 to 24:00 on March 19, 1737 new confirmed cases were reported in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government) and the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps. There were 81 imported cases and 1656 local cases.

In the face of the epidemic, health is much more important than drinking coffee! Everyone had better cooperate with the epidemic prevention work and do not gather any more personnel.
