Reducing the risk in supermarkets

Looking for suggestions on how to reduce the risks of customers and staff getting Covid 19 in the supermarket please. Can you add anything to the below?

  1. Hand sanitizer at entrances/exit.
  2. Staff to ensure all customers use hand sanitizer (while keeping at a 2 metre distance from the customers. Hard.)
  3. Regular cleaning of trolley/basket handles.
  4. Disinfectant provided for customers to clean their own trolley/basket.
  5. Plexiglass at checkouts.
  6. Non contact methods of payment encouraged (tap/google pay)
  7. Shop alone if possible - staff to enforce. (Obviously lone parents/special needs carers may not be able to).
  8. Hand sanitizer provided to all staff. Use between each customer.
  9. Do as much during closing hours as possible- pack out deliveries, pick home deliveries/click and collect. Only checkout staff and minimal floor staff in store during opening hours.
10. Increase capacity of home delivery/click and collect. Do a trolley to car service for click and collect so customers don't have to enter the store. 11. Signs up: if you have any of these symptoms, do not enter. 12. Limit no of customers in store at any one time. 13. Signs up: it is NOT business as usual. Please maintain social distancing etc. 14. Sanitizer at self serve checkouts - use between each customer. 15. All fresh food wrapped (bread etc) 16. Extreme case: No customers to enter the store, click and collect only.

Anything else?

Toilets - paper towels inside the toilet, bins outside, so you can open the door and then dispose of the tissue.

2m distancing lines drawn on floor (perhaps in tape), especially in front of checkouts.
