In a bid to keep shoppers and staff as safe as possible, several supermarkets and retailers have already brought in new policies and rules.
From two metre markers on floors, to perspex screens at checkouts and a limit on the number of people allowed in stores, every shop has done its bit in keeping the nation safe and helping to protect our NHS.
And now Home Bargains wants customers to be careful when touching items in stores.
Liverpool Echo spotted signs outside a Home Bargains store it recently visited which reminded customers to when possible, only touch items they were going to buy.
The store is asking shoppers to take a common sense approach to remain mindful of this rule.

Home Bargains isn't the first retailer to implement a 'no touch' policy.
Last month, Asda updated its website to also ask customers not to touch items they don't intend to purchase.
The message read: "There will also be clear signage, directional barriers and floor markings to help you move around our store easily and maintain a two-metre distance from other customers and our colleagues.
"You are allowed to bring your children and other members of your household to our stores, but we ask that you keep this to a minimum to help us maintain social distancing advice.
"We’re asking customers to only touch items they intend to purchase and to use cashless payment wherever they can to minimise contact."
