With local lockdowns now in place up and down the UK, the country's biggest supermarkets are making every effort to ensure that shoppers are kept as safe as possible.
Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's and Morrisons all have their own rules and guidelines to meet social distancing measures and to keep staff and shoppers safe.
Tesco, too, has implemented a series of rules to do the same. Now the supermarket has announced that further measures are being put in place.
Here are all of the changes being made in Tesco supermarkets, according to our sister site the ECHO
- Staff at the entrances of larger stores to remind customers about the safety measures in place, including the legal requirement to wear a face covering.
- Where necessary, Tesco will limit the flow of people coming into stores to make sure they don’t get too busy.
- Hand sanitisers are being placed around stores for customers and colleagues to use, as well as extra cleaning products to wipe down your trolley or basket.
- In some stores, Tesco will introduce directional floor markings and new signs to create a safe flow of movement around the store.
- New floor markings will help you to keep a safe distance from others while waiting to pay.
- Tesco is installing protective screens at its checkouts.
- Where possible, it will create separate entrances and exits to its stores, so it’s easier to keep a safe distance from other shoppers.
- Tesco is encouraging customers to shop on their own to help reduce the number of people in-store at any one time.
- If possible, use card or contactless payments.
- Please avoid shopping during Tesco's dedicated times for vulnerable and elderly people.
