Social distancing protocol:

• Maintain at least a 6 foot distance amongst each other and within shared areas. Spaces will be clearly labeled by visual markings. Managing the flow of customers and visitor arrivals, providing a virtual waiting room are a few suggested solutions.

If an employee(s) is found COVID-19 positive, have a plan of response. This includes increased cleaning, tracing staff exposure and notifying the correct local public health authorities.

Any sign-in devices used between users is sanitized.

If possible, the workplace is going to be reconfigured to maintain appropriate distance between employees and store visitors. This can include reorganizing the floorspace/casing so that clients and staff are safely distanced from each other and can navigate through the retail space safely.

• One approach to this could be limiting the amount of products on display in showrooms, relying on technology to instead display the inventory and pricing. This method could also provide much more floor space to accommodate social distancing measures.

The staff is trained on physical distancing.

The number of employees simultaneously allowed in a break room is limited

Work stations are staggered for each staff.

Increase sanitization of high touch areas with disinfectant and provide gloves to clients who wish to handle any inventory.

Setting up one-way guides throughout the store can help flow traffic and allows for limited client to client interaction.

For all pre-booked consultations clients will be screened for symptoms before arriving and the standard recommendations for self-isolation will be followed if the client can be classified as high-risk. For example, such measures should be taken if a customer has returned from an international trip less than 14 days prior to their appointment or if they have been in recent contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

• Recommendations from the CDC can be found here

This can be achieved by requiring all individuals to complete a digital COVID-19 screening questionnaire.

• It is important to note that self-reporting provides limited assurance, as some individuals can be asymptomatic.

Online consultations via video call will be set up whenever possible, especially if either party is experiencing symptoms. If done in person for fitting, the store will supply latex gloves for clients to limit direct contact. Products will also be cleaned in front of the customer for peace of mind.

Entrances and exits are propped open to reduce touching doors.

The number of items on a table is reduced.

Tables are cleared one at a time.

Installing plexiglass barriers in front of payment areas is an efficient way to achieve proper physical distancing measures. Their material also allows them to be easily sanitized with disinfectant regularly.

Contactless payment solutions will be the default payment method to limit any physical contact with employees. Alternatively, online invoicing solutions will be offered. Your payment management system provider should be able to provide further details and options for setting this up.

• Covering contactless payment pads with soft plastic to ensure the surface can easily be wiped down.
