the new social distancing and hygiene guidelines that retail stores must implement when shops reopen on Monday.We can expect a limit on the number of people in store at any one time, markers to help us maintain social distancing, and clear ‘sneeze guard’ screens at till points.
We may also be asked to use hand sanitiser before touching any merchandise, to wear masks or have our temperaturnes taken, depending on individual stores’ policies.But what will happen if we don’t follow the rules?
Most sensible people will, of course, but it’s inevitable that some will simply forget that they can’t pick up a shoe from a display and slip it onto their foot.
