COVID-19 safety measures: To ensure the safety of our team and all visitors, Emmaus have carried out a risk assessment for reopening and put in place measures to minimise the risk of virus transmission. To ensure that physical distancing rules are maintained, our team will be monitoring the number of people within the store. We are limiting the amount of people in store at any one time so you may be required to queue prior to entry. We ask that all visitors wear a face covering and sanitise their hands on entry at our sanitiser stations. Please follow the directional arrows around the store and ensure that you maintain at least a 2 metre distance from others at all times. If you are visiting as a family, please stick together closely and ensure that children stay with adults at all times. When purchasing items, please pay by card and use contactless payments where possible. Delivery service will be available for larger purchases but some new controls now apply. |
