Guidelines for grocery stores

The Government of Saskatchewan is also outlining guidelines grocery stores should be practising during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The government says a good rule for calculating the maximum number of people in a store at any one time, including both customers and staff, is four square metres of retail floor space per person.

Stores should enhance their sanitation plan and schedule and ensure staff are practising proper hand hygiene.

Stores should not sell bulk items, except via gravity feed bins, or where staff dispense the bulk items.

Stores should also encourage people to not use renewable bags.

Hand sanitizer dispensers should be placed at entrances and checkout-lines.
