We use disinfectant to clean the cash register, the handles on shopping trolleys and the keys on ATM cash registers. This reduces the possibility of infection again and, I think, with this, we have really done everything that serves to protect our employees and our customers.” - Staff cleaning cash register with disinfectant - C/U cleaning cash register with disinfectant - C/U staff putting on disposable gloves - VS supermarket staff cutting sausage for customer - Information sign “Bleiben Sie gesund.
