You know some or all of these things, but a reminder from the experts can’t hurt:

  • Only shop in person when you absolutely need to.
  • Avoid shopping if you are sick.
  • Stay at least 6 feet away from others.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering.
  • Shop during off-peak hours or during special hours for high-risk people (65 or older, and those with serious underlying medical conditions).
  • Disinfect shopping cart with wipes if available.
  • Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
  • Use touchless payment if available.
  • Use hand sanitizer right after paying with cash or touching a keypad.
  • Use hand sanitizer after leaving store, then wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds at home.
