This week will see large crowds of bargain-shoppers hitting the stores for Black Friday sales. The public must remember that this is a high-risk activity and it should be avoided if possible to prevent the spread of COVID -19.

If you must get your Black Friday deals, make sure all safety precautions are taken when entering crowds:

• Wear your mask at all times and carry a spare mask just in case.
• Avoid crowded and confined spaces. Time your shopping over Black Friday weekend to get into stores when crowds are not as large so you can keep a safe distance of 1.5m.
• Try to shop online as much as possible – Black Friday deals online are just as good as in-store.
• Sanitise! Sanitise! Sanitise! Carry your own hand sanitiser with you and use it when entering, in the store and leaving the store.
