The news of the declining spread of the Covid-19 virus is quite a breath of fresh air for people who have been required to limit activities outside the home for more than two years. It is evident from the permission to go home and carry out normal activities in most public places without forgetting health protocols.
Keeping your distance, not shaking hands, not just placing your cellphone on the surface, not touching things that have just been held by other people, not touching your face, always carrying hand sanitizer, and staying away from crowds, of course, still need to be applied if you are in a public place.
Anyway, approaching Eid al-Fitr, supermarkets usually become more crowded with people who just got paid, just got a bonus, or just had time to shop. The accumulation of people to buy syrup, pastries, basic necessities, and cooking ingredients for the needs of the holidays is unavoidable. However, you can follow the tips that we have compiled from various sources so that you stay safe while shopping at the supermarket.
Check in full below, OK!
1. Memorize the days, dates, and quiet hours at your favorite supermarket. Visit the supermarket on a date and time that is least likely to be crowded. For example, in your 20s (as much as possible not on payday or after payday).
2. Go on weekdays during the day to minimize the chance you'll run into a lot of people.
3. Wear a mask correctly so that you are protected from exposure to viruses and bacteria from people who cough or sneeze at a relatively close distance to your position.
4. Should not have to bring children or elderly parents. As much as possible only you go shopping and look for goods, your needs and other members of your family in order to reduce the possibility of contracting the Covid-19 virus and other dangerous viruses.
5. If the supermarket gets crowded while you're shopping, you can avoid the chance to pass by looking for things in the quietest aisle first.
6. Buy the product you need, not what you want. Also, the amount is not excessive. It's better not to have to hoard, so that other people can also meet their needs.
7. Avoid places where people are chatting at close range, especially if they are taking off their masks so that their words can be heard more clearly.
8. Maintain a distance of about one meter from other people and try to be more patient in queuing when you want to pick up the items you need in the hallway, or when queuing for payment at the cashier.
