"Face coverings will be mandatory in all shops throughout the UK as from Tuesday. It is important to ensure you have signs up to remind customers, and also fully brief your staff. The same exemptions to customers will apply. It is important we are all responsible in doing our best to reduce the spread of this new variant, especially as we approach the festive period. Bira is in a meeting with the government department for business later today to discuss these latest rules" Says Bira CEO, Andrew Goodacre

With mandatory regulations surrounding social distancing in shops due to COVID-19, it’s important to ensure that you’re communicating your expectations to your customers. This will not only ensure compliance but will also put your customers at ease when visiting your business.

On of the best forms of communication, as well as verbal reinforcement, is instore and window signage. So, we’ve put together three posters you may find useful to display in your shop to help support the current social distancing requirements.

The posters are designed to be printed on A3 paper, or smaller – perfect for your retail premises’ door, window, or inside, near a hand sanitising station. Click the images below to download.

Alternatively, Social Distancing Kits has created its own version. Find out more here
