"However, we would stress that visitors must do so safely, washing their hands regularly, following social distancing guidance while accessing these services and supporting stores that have also put these measures in place.
"This situation is changing rapidly and we would recommend people continue to check our social media channels and message us with any specific questions.”
A statement on behalf of Shropshire Council, which runs the sopping centres in Shrewsbury, said: "Shrewsbury shopping centres remain open at this time for essential shops.
"We’re in the process of reducing the centres’ entrance points to manage social distancing.
"We ask people to follow the latest Government guidance and only make essential visits to the shops for food and medicine at this time.
