Slowing the Spread of COVID-19 While Grocery Shopping
Together, we can slow the spread of COVID-19 by making a conscious effort to keep a physical distance between each other when we have to go out in public. Public Health is working with our food stores to ensure this vital service continues so we all have access to safe food. Many food stores have put strong measures in place to protect their staff and the public.
The following practices will also help reduce your exposure in the grocery store setting, and protect those who are providing this vital service.
If you are sick do not go out and shop. STAY HOME.
If you have arrived home from travelling, DO NOT SHOP, ask a friend or family member to help or Take advantage of on-line curb side services or grocery delivery services
