The head of Australia’s largest groceries chain Woolworths has revealed that the Delta outbreak of COVID-19 has put “intense” pressure on the country’s supermarkets, with shoppers in Sydney and Melbourne worn out as the novelty of last year’s lockdowns fades away.
“If you listen to consumers, everyone’s just frustrated, and the excitement of being at home and it being a bit of an adventure has long worn off.” However, the broader spread of the virus through the country’s latest lockdowns has still placed greater stress on supply chains when compared to last year, with Woolworths weathering staffing problems both in stores and in warehouses, patchy product availability and difficulty fulfilling online orders.
domp Delta strain is not a novelty but a serious health risk. It also exposes your low paid workforce daily and certainly can cause a whole 14 Day quarantine for employees and their families. The list of supermarkets that are exposure sites is almost longer than those that are not.
domp Yeah tired from panic buying
domp I want to see a security guard at the entrance to all supermarkets ensuring the QR code is used, hands are sanitised on entry and customers are wearing masks properly. Social distancing needs attention too.
