This photograph was taken during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in Melbourne in 2020. It references the public health strategies that were in place to reduce the risk of infection with the virus for staff and customers. These strategies included social distancing as a key measure, and hand hygiene. Asking customers to pack their own bags from home was designed to minimise spreading the virus.
