Thank you for your email, which has been shared with Code Enforcement for mask enforcement follow up.  If the Mall's Management (or individual stores) would like to close for a deep clean, that would be their decision.  Page 4, section 2.a. of our current Emergency Order (attached) requires businesses to follow CDC and OSHA guidelines to operate to minimize the spread.

I am a Store Manager at a business in Oaks Mall. My wife works at Shands Hospital. The mall has 99% non essential businesses. Right now , high schoolers, college kids are using as a place just to go because they have nothing better to due. Spreading virus, and stealing is at a all time highs. The Buckle business workers are not even wearing masks or make customers . Granted I do love my job and love to get paid. A business next door to me a manager is out to to positive test result. I believe it’s just a start. With schools opening being pushed back, I think it would be in the community’s best interest to close with a deep clean for all business before school openings. Us workers are scared. And we should be. We get berated to help service them and nothing here is essential. It’s a breeding ground for trouble. Please  think about it. Opening before school so parents can shop safe is in everyones best interest weather they know it or not.
Thank you for your time. .
