I suppose it comes down to the fact that very few, if any, cases have been sourced to customer service staff.
Woolies has introduced shields at manned checkouts, so neither the staff nor the customers can breathe on each other.
I imagine anybody showing any symptoms of a respiratory tract infection would be sent home post haste.
Personally, given your evinced phobia about this, I suggest you stay home for the duration and have no contact with anybody for any reason.
After all, your UVC filters will protect you.
For starters I do not write only for myself but factor in other peoples circumstances and also i observe what is happening overseas and seek how those experiences could become applicable here - is my view that, within reason, inconvenient prevention which in the end is not required is better than not introducing mitigation measures early enough or not at all and so compromising more peoples health.
Think " Ruby Princess"
But in responding here to such considerations after reading the data requires empathy and compassion ... unfortunately
now
As it transpires the CEO of Woolworths has advocated various measures in a news letter dated 3rd April 2929 such as
A store greeter wiping down basket and trolley handles as you enter
Asking customers to keep 1.5m between each other in store
New Plexiglass screens across our staffed checkouts
Packing your own bags at the checkout
Our checkout team now rotate every 2 hours to limit face-to-face interaction
A significant increase in cleaning of ‘high touch’ surfaces and daily deep cleaning
And coming next week, more focus on managing the number of customers in our stores
end Woolies list
Notice "plexiglass screens" - obviously to be introduced to create an airborne viral barrier between checkout staff and customers . effectively the same as a face mask
Your suggestion that I stay at home and not shop as a solution is idiotic
