Temperature of shoppers and staff may be checked

Retailers may introduce temperature checks for staff and shoppers when they’re allowed reopen.

According to The Irish Times, they are also considering banning price promotions to prevent a rush of customers.

Retail Excellence says shops should also consider barring the use of trolleys and insist on card payments for a period.

Professor Anthony Staines, from DCU’s school of nursing, says temperature checks might not be a very effective measure in shops.
