Safe Shopping
Residents are asked to stay at home as much as possible and limit close contact with those in your immediate household. If possible, use curbside pickup or online shopping.
If you leave the house for shopping, here are some tips to consider:
- Before going out, check to see if what you’re looking for can be ordered online from a local business
- If you must go into a store, time your trip during off-peak hours when it will be easier to maintain a safe distance of 2 metres/6 feet from others
- Inquire about curbside pick-up and other safety shopping options
- Plan ahead to limit the amount of time you spend in stores
- Follow the rules set out by stores, respect occupancy limits and please be patient and kind
- Follow directional arrows and safety signs as these are in place for everyone’s safety
- Make sure you know the new regulations required of malls and retailers
- Download the COVID Alert app
