With lockdown conditions imposed in many countries to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus, everyday activities such as shopping are going to be different from usual for some time.
Here are some tips on how to practise physical distancing while purchasing essential food and medical supplies.
Keep clear of people on the way to and from the shops, and when inside them as well, if possible. Be patient and take your turn to access goods in fridges and freezers. Some supermarkets are helping to do this by limiting the number of people who can be inside a shop at any given time. When purchasing your shopping, try to keep your distance from shop workers as well.

West Seattle Blog… | GROCERY SHOPPING: Local changes continue
Again today, our weekend coverage starts with a reminder that we’re continuing to monitor and update local standalone grocery stores’ hours. Here’s our updated West Seattle list . This week’s biggest change: More set-aside hours for seniors and others at elevated risk. Also of note, more bans on personal bags. Thanks again to everyone who has shared info on changes and conditions!
Totally supporting not having grocery workers touch my bags. I have found that in several stores, they are happy to put my grocery items back in my cart unbagged, and then I take them to my car and use my own bags. I’m hoping that grocery stores start making aisles “one-way” so that we can assure that we don’t have to try to pass people mid aisle. Stay safe friends and neighbors!
