Questions and answers (European Commission) As a retailer, how can I protect my customers and myself from being infected by other people who come to my store?Make sure hygiene and cleaning procedures are up-to-date and ensure that they are strictly followed, including clear communication on hygiene rules of conduct for clients.Retailers are also encouraged to manage the entry of external providers of products and services (eg cleaning).Since the virus responsible for COVID-19 resists primarily on smooth inert surfaces, such as plastic and stainless steel, retailers are recommended to clean those surfaces frequently - for example, carts or scanners to make purchases.Regular disinfection of supermarket shopping baskets should be carried out.Retailers can also encourage customers to bring their own shopping bags.As many authorities ask, ensure a safe physical distance between people, as advised by public health authorities, for example by marking the ground at certain intervals, and limit the number of people who can be simultaneously present in your store.Retailers can also recommend that consumers use shopping carts to keep that distance.Food tastings for promotional campaigns should be avoided.If supply allows, retailers may consider making a hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes publicly available at the entrance, or even distributing single-use gloves6 when people have to touch unpackaged food in the store ( like fruit or vegetables).When retailers apply such sanitation measures, they should insist that customers use them and, in the case of single-use gloves, that they be disposed of properly.If face-to-face contact is required and it is not possible to maintain a safe distance between people, it is recommended to place a glass or plexiglass screen between cashiers and customers (eg, in front of the boxes), as well as encouraging payment by debit or credit card, preferably contactless, rather than cash.Periodic sanitation of the device for card payment is also recommended, as well as the conveyor belt of the cashier.If used properly, gloves also help protect your fruits and vegetables from contamination due to customer handling.In some Member States, disposable gloves have been used in the fruit and vegetable areas of the supermarket for a long time and their use has been widely assumed by customers to be worn with a pathogen that may be present on their hands.
