RETAIL groups, including the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, are calling on shoppers to follow health advice, wear face masks and check-in with QR codes whenever they shop.
The Guild, alongside the Australian Retailers Association, the National Retail Assocation and the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association launched a five-point plan to support retail during COVID-19 outbreaks.
As part of the plan security guards will monitor customer compliance with health guidelines and to ensure they treat retail workers with respect.
Employers will have daily check-ins with staff to ensure they have access to relevant information and personal protective equipment, while enforcing social distancing and maintaining safety measures.
The groups also reiterated calls for shoppers to treat staff with respect, noting "essentials are in good supply".
