Summary
Photograph of two customer notices with information on social distancing and corona virus, on the counter underneath a sneeze screen at the delicatessen at Creswick IGA Plus Liquor Store, in regional Victoria. The notices suggest using a shopping trolley as a guide for suitable social distancing length between people and not to lean on the counter.
This image was taken during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic by Museums Victoria staff member Trevor Mason on 29 May 2020, as part of the museum's Collecting the Curve Covid-19 project.
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, perspex safety screens, cashless payment and hand hygiene.
