Pandemic Advice SHOPPING LIST 10 things you must be doing in supermarkets during coronavirus lockdown 1 Leave family at home However now is not the time for you to be picking up things you re not going to be buying For your own safety as well as everyone else s try to only touch the items you intend to purchase Experts say it is very unlikely that coronavirus is transmitted through food but it s best to be safe than sorry 2 Don t ignore markers Many stores have taped markers on the floor that tell customers where to stand while checking out 12 Differences 3 Don t violate special shopping hours Since the coronavirus outbreak many supermarkets have introduced special shopping hours to help the vulnerable and key workers get their groceries Trivia However if you have to use one make sure you wash your hands straight with hot water and soap for 20 seconds or use alcohol based hand gel Lots of supermarkets will also be wiping down screens with disinfecting wipes Try to space out your car from others in store car parks as much as possible This will help to ensure safe social distancing and mean you stick to the two metres distance rule put in place to stop the coronavirus spreading

Consider shop workers Finally make sure you remember that supermarket employees are working in a highly stressful environment right now If you need to get food try to get a family member or friend to do the grocery run for you 5 Don t pay with cash Continues According to studies the new coronavirus can survive on surfaces for up to nine days and yep that includes those touchscreens and self checkouts at the supermarket 9 Don t park next to others If you don t belong to one of those groups steer clear of those hours as you ll be creating unnecessary danger for others Experts have revealed that coronavirus could cling onto banknotes in the same way it lives on surfaces like doorknobs handrails and toilet handles 8 Try to avoid touchscreens In particular hundreds of people will be using touchscreens every day so they re a great place for the bug to be deposited by infected individuals and be picked up by healthy ones spreading the germ to new people If you can try to avoid using a touchscreen This is because the elderly cannot get to the shops as quick as their young counterparts and NHS staff are busy at work trying to keep coronavirus victims safe and alive If you can you should use card or contactless over cash payment when possible Tesco has added baked beans and milk to its list while Sainsbury s has added all groceries to its list of limited items Make sure you stick to these limits and don t buy any more food than you need We re all guilty of picking up every item of fruit on the shelf and inspecting it for imperfections before we put it in our basket or trolly If at all possible leave the kids spouse and or grandparents at home and shop by yourself Asda and Sainsbury s have both given NHS workers priority every Monday Wednesday and Friday from 8am to 9am and at Tesco the first opening hour of all its supermarket times will be dedicated to elderly and vulnerable customers Each store has different variations on the products it s choosing to limit but most have highlighted toilet roll handwash handsanitizers anti bacterial gel pasta and cleaning products 7 Don t touch things you re not buying Some supermarkets across the country have implemented a one in one out policy to help ensure safe social distancing and having a jam packed store can make this more difficult In particular all emergency workers including the NHS can visit Aldi 30 minutes before stores open on Sundays Limits have been put in place on how many of one item you can buy per person across all products in all supermarkets In most cases this seems to be three or four items of any particular product per person The company claim to fame We always leave your hearth cleaner than it was before we arrived These markers ensure that customers adhere to the two metres distance rule put in place to stop the coronavirus spreading Rationing has been introduced by supermarkets for the first time since World War II in an effort to prevent coronavirus stockpiling Solutions They re putting themselves and their families at risk and often for little pay to ensure that you and your family can get your groceries and have food on your plate Lucy Jones Digital Health
