Irish Global Health Network guidelines suggest that because of the capacity of the virus to live on surfaces, shopping trolleys, baskets, pin pads, they and other regularly touched items should be sanitised after each use

"Despite some supermarkets exercising caution with standards improving in recent days, the inconsistency in upholding standards is worrying," the Irish Global Health Network said in a statement as it published guidelines for shoppers to help reduce the spread of Covid-19."Supermarkets are exercising caution with standards improving in recent days, the inconsistency in upholding standards is worrying," the statement added.

"A whole new range of signs and floor markings to encourage customers to keep the two metre distancing. At checkouts stores have installed Perspex screens. Retailers have increased the frequency of their cleaning of the stores, of the trolleys, baskets and also of chip and pin terminals," Mr Dillon told Morning Ireland.

So stop squeezing every peach in lidl you bastards.

Supermarkets have a bottle of hand sanitiser at the entrances. Use some of that to wipe down your trolley or basket handle. If we take care of that bit, the shops can handle the rest.

How the blazes are supermarkets still allowed to sell unwrapped breads and croissants which are exposed in baskets at risk of droplets, not to mention muck savages who use their hands to select their baked product.

This is very frustrating. The main point, (that obviously everyone should be wiping their shopping down with anti viral) is missing from the headline. RTE said the opposite a few days ago. It’s common sense. How many people could have coughed on your packet of biscuits in a week?

Meanwhile the Gardai continue to spread the virus far and wide.

Is this true. Did you confirm it with the CMO. I’m cocooned. Looks like, having waited 2 weeks for a delivery of food from the supermarket, I’ll have to wait up to 3 days more before I can touch it.

Warning of coronavirus risks over careless handling of shoppingEnvironmental health experts describe supermarkets as ‘high-risk sites of infection’ Really hard to see how the draconian methods describing the handling of groceries can be justified on a risk basis considering no cases have been identified in which this type of transmission was implicated. Coronavirustruth I'll tell you IT , you really are out with the sensationalist articles today. Stop with the scaremongering.-' However the group says no reported cases of Covid-19 have been linked to contaminated food and the main risk to shoppers is coming into contact with an infected person' There’s shops that are handling this well, spraying down card machines, trolly & basket handles, discouraging customers from touching anything unless they’re going to buy, wearing gloves etc.. then there’s my local Aldi where they don’t seem to know wtf everyone’s worried about!
