Sobeys grocery stores are taking further steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among customers and staff.
The company began installing Plexiglas shields for cashiers in select stores last night and plan to have them in every store as quickly as possible.
Sobeys is also mandating that employees wash their hands every 15 minutes and will reduce store hours to allow more time for sanitizing.
