Disinfection points are available in the busiest areas and in the restrooms. The escalators are also fitted with built-in handrail sanitisers.

Etele Plaza, which has a leasable area of 55,000 sqm, is also Hungary's first smart mall. The complex can provide a personalised shopping experience through its own mobile app and cloud-based services. It opened in Budapest's southwestern Újbuda district in late 2021.
