Heidelberg resident goes public after testing positive for Covid-19

Her decision to do this may be seen as heroic, as the community can now grasp how easy it is to contract this virus. She stated that she was very careful and made use of a mask and gloves when doing shopping, and furthermore stated that she is not sure how and where exactly she contracted the virus.

HERAUT subsequently contacted Alan Mills, a manager at Pick n Pay Heidelberg to investigate their action plan to keep their outlet free of germs and safe for public use.

According to Mills, the entire supermarket is sanitised on a daily basis and throughout the day.

“Our staff cleans shelves, door handles, surfaces, pay points and isles continuously with sanitiser. The safety of our customers as well as our staff is our main priority and we are doing everything in our power to keep our supermarket clean,” Mills confirmed.

Customers are however, urged to follow the social distancing protocol when they do their shopping. Sanitize your hands and make your shopping as brief as possible.
