Woolworths stores operate in different ranges in their retail business. The group has Woolworths Food and Woolworths Clothing which in most cases operate net to each other. The company is allowed to open the food stores only as it is essential goods needed by South Africans during lockdown which means the clothing departments will be closed until further notice by government.
The company has thousands of employees in all provinces of South Africa and also has different jobs available in each and every store they have in the country including their head offices. During lockdown, Woolworths employees who are working under food stores are working from Monday to Sunday and sometimes during holidays which means their jobs are safe.
Woolworths are also doing everything to help the government in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus in their stores as they also have people who work to sanitize their customers before they enter their stores and also their trolleys and baskets are sanitized throughout the day. Customers entering Woolworths stores are encouraged to wear face masks and hand gloves to be safe not to contract the virus by mistake.
They are also not allowed to sell cooked food in their stores like all other food grocery retails. The company has a good reputation as one of the best food stores in the country when it comes to quality and healthiness of food they sell. The company has put measures in place to continue providing South Africans with the best quality food.
During lockdown, Woolworths food stores are operating under the regulations set by government to provide essential goods only which means they cannot at anytime sell anything else than essential goods. Management of all stores around South Africa are making sure that heir stores are complying with government regulations to combat the spread of the virus.
All people are allowed to visit Woolworths food stores provided that they follow all the regulations in place at all stores to help fight the spread of the virus which means all customers are at all times encouraged to wear face masks and hand gloves as that helps in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus.
