Health Ministry lists steps to follow after grocery shopping

 The Ministry of Health has issued new guidelines to be followed by those returning home after buying essential supplies for their households to stop the spread of COVID-19 

The guidelines are:

• Remove mask after getting home, put it in a plastic bag and throw it out.
• Avoid interacting with household members.
• Head to the shower immediately and remove all clothing worn. Soak the clothing in soapy water before washing them.
• Shower and ensure that face and hands are thoroughly washed with soap.
• After completing all these steps, only then interact with others.

Only one member of a family has been advised to venture out to purchase goods in order to minimise the number of people gathering to purchase goods.
