To make grocery
shopping safer, the UK has issued guidelines on how customers should
behave. The country’s Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) has
collaborated with Environmental Health Association of Ireland (EHAI) and the Irish Global Health Network (IGHN) to
write a rule-book that stipulates safety measures related to everything that
you should do before, during and after buying items to protect yourself.
First of all, children must not be brought to supermarkets
and shops. You should also avoid crowds and you must not visit the store during
peak times. A lot grocers have established dedicated times so that the elderly
can purchase products without increased risks. Special arrangements have been
made for NHS workers as well.
Before visiting the store, you must make an inventory of the
products that you already have at home. This will help you avoid wastage of
both food and money which is currently crucial. After that, make a list and
ensure that you have enough essential items to last you until your next
shopping trip. This should be limited to once a week.
To reduce human contact, make sure that you respect social
distancing rules. Avoid touching surfaces as far as possible and it
is best to utilise contactless payment services if these are available.
You are also advised to bring your own sanitiser.
