What's Happening in Benoni, Gauteng…

It seems like every other day there is positive news on the long-awaited Covid vaccines. In the UK and the USA, they are already working on vaccination logistics. But even over there, it will not be possible to vaccinate everyone at the same time. And getting on top of the virus will take time.

Here in South Africa, we may have to wait a little longer to start vaccinations and much longer to be safely rid of the virus. So the retail sector, already suffering from strained supply chains and logistical bottlenecks caused by Covid, still isn’t out of the woods.

Supermarkets have been implementing measures to protect their workforce and customers from COVID-19. These include distancing markers and regulating the number of people in the store, the use of sanitising wipes for cleaning of trolley handles, screens between till staff and the public, and greater use of contactless payment cards. 

Many restaurants and stores are going the extra mile by implementing a curbside pick-up system which allows you as the customer to order online and pick up the same day. Your parcel or takeaway will be brought out to you while you wait in your car. They are also making use of takeaway Menus to prevent the spread of germs and making sure that their COVID-19 safety guidelines are well displayed, reminding guests to sanitise and keep a safe distance.
