These are the things you should keep in mind if you are going to a clothing store
You have already made some purchases online but now that we are, you want to go to a physical store to try on those pants or that dress that you have found on the website … We understand you very well. But before you leave home, take a look at these tips.
- The most basic? "Wear a mask, put gel on your hands and not stay for long," explains Dr. Xavier Xercavins , a family doctor and member of Doctoralia. Wash your hands before leaving home. Yes, you will be sick of hearing it, but it is essential to maintain good hygiene to ward off the virus. He has a bottle of hydroalcoholic gel in his bag. In all stores they put gel at your disposal and in some even gloves. Wear a mask (it is mandatory in any closed place) and always plan your purchase well to minimize the frequency of outings (for example, make a list of everything you need) and try to stay in the store as little as possible.
- Is there a queue to enter? According to the guide prepared by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism and the Ministry of Health for the commercial reopening, in case of queues, customers should wait outside the stores in an organized manner and strictly keeping the safety distance.
- In the store, always respect the instructions and the established safety distances. Try not to touch anything that you are not going to.
- And when trying something? Before trying on any garment, disinfect your hands. "A clothing store has the act of trying on a garment. If the garment is contaminated, nothing happens, as long as the gel is passed on the hands often. The virus does not enter the hands but the hands are very easy to take to the mouth, nose or eyes and that is where the virus enters ", explains the expert. "You have to pay extra attention when trying on the garments that have to pass over the face, when putting them on and taking them off. If they were contaminated, they could touch the three entrance doors (mouth, nose and eyes). You have to do it with a mask or, when passing the garment over the head, separate it by passing it through the mouth, nose or eyes so that the piece does not touch these parts ", he adds.
- Whenever possible, pay by card or mobile to minimize contact .
- None of the rules make it clear that a small group of friends cannot enter a store. Of course, in order to always maintain a safe distance from others , it is better that you go to the store alone.
- Do you want some shoes? Don't try them on with your socks. The store should provide you with disposable plastic bags so that the skin does not rub against the shoes. Please order them before trying on the shoes.
