Lidl will provide its staff with safety visors in all its UK stores because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The new safety measure will see thousands of visors rolled out in stores across the country, Lidl has said, as part of its commitment to ensure the safety of colleagues and customers.
In a statement, Lidl said: "The safety visors will help create a barrier between staff and customers during conversation at a safe distance.
"Made to be worn multiple times, they are easy to wipe down and disinfect after wear, simple to use and designed with comfort in mind."
Christian Härtnagel, CEO at Lidl GB, said the supermarket was committed to ensuring colleagues and customers feel safe.
He added: “We are eternally grateful to all of our store teams who are working hard every day to support their communities.
"And, we would once again like to thank customers for their consideration during this very challenging time.”
Earlier this week, Lidl announced it would be installing thousands of safety screens at checkouts as well as creating up to 2,500 new store jobs to provide necessary additional support.
