The leading retailer of the region, Lulu Hypermarket Qatar, took a pledge at its D-Ring Road branch to extend sincere gratitude to all the ‘frontline soldiers’ of medical and healthcare sectors around the world for their selfless efforts to fight the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.
The LuLu gesture also conveyed an underlying message about the relevance and importance of social distancing in the current pandemic situation. LuLu Hypermarkets have launched a series of Covid-19 preventive measures.
Starting with a rigorous hand hygiene campaign launched in the first week of the month through all its branches, LuLu went on to implement thorough cleaning and hygiene protocols within the store, warehouse and at staff accommodations on a continuous basis.
Understanding customers’ health, safety and wellness as its first priority, LuLu Hypermarkets have given awareness to the customers and general public through its official website, social media, newspapers and signages, on the necessity of maintaining reasonable distance, sanitising or washing the hands, minimal family presence at the store for shopping and temporary suspension of the best practice of reusable bags.
LuLu Hypermarkets have also introduced dedicated checkouts to support elderly and vulnerable shoppers and healthcare workers. Protective screens have been installed at checkouts in order to safeguard both customers and staff.
LuLu Hypermarkets have also implemented strict precautionary measures for its staff and merchandisers including regular monitoring of temperature when they report for duty. It has been made compulsory that all staff must undergo rigorous hygiene training sessions.
