The social distancing guidance for non-food retail stores from the British Retail Consortium and Usdaw union draws on government advice as well as lessons learned by the retailers deemed essential and allowed to stay open during the lockdown, in place since March 23, such as supermarkets and pharmacies.
“We need to be ready and we need to make sure that the proper preparations and measures are put in place,” said Usdaw general secretary Paddy Lillis.
