What are Eumarrah stores doing to prevent the spread of COVID-19?
Eumarrah is committed to assessing and adapting our approach daily for the safety of our team and our community to minimise the spread of COVID-19.
Our stores have implemented preventative measures to our shopping experience as requested by the Australian Government and World Health Organisation. These changes are to prevent and slow the spread of this virus. Please remember to practice the highest level of personal hygiene all the time, not just while shopping with us.
HYGIENE
Our team are practicing the highest standards of hand hygiene. All surfaces, fixtures and shopping baskets are continuously disinfected and our scoops are thoroughly washed frequently throughout the day. We ask that you bring only clean jars and containers to refill. It is a condition of entry to use the hand sanitiser provided when entering our stores, and cotton gloves are also available for your use. If you would prefer to wash your hands on entry, please ask a member of our staff.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
We have actioned social distancing between our team and customers. If the store reaches maximum capacity, we will ask you to wait outside until another customer leaves. We also ask that you respect the advised 1.5m distance between yourself and others while instore, especially while in queue.
SELF SERVICE SAFETY
The relationship between self-service and COVID-19 is an area that we have considered. The method of transmission of COVID-19 is through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can be inhaled or they can land in your eyes or mouth. This is the main method of infection. Or the droplets can land on a surface. If it is a hard impervious surface (eg, a can of tomatoes, or a bottle of sauce) the virus can remain viable for 3 days under normal conditions. If it is an absorbent surface (eg, cardboard) it lasts only about 24 hours. Virus viable duration on different foods has not been tested, however it is likely to be short given that most foods are porous.
> A third vector of transmission could be cross-contamination from staff touching customer containers, though this is not very different from touching ordinary pre-packaged grocery lines. This is why staff sanitise their hands and the scale between each customer transaction.
Anyone still concerned about food safety could either wait a couple of days before consuming food or they could heat it at 65C for 3 minutes to ensure there is no viable contamination. Alternatively we offer a contactless
Online Order (via email) & Delivery service.
