Supermarkets, pharmacies and gas stations have taken measures to avoid crowds in their premises and minimize the possibilities of contagion. At the access doors of many supermarkets, a company employee organizes the entrance, waiting for a customer to leave to give way to the next. In addition, minors are not allowed to enter and you cannot go shopping accompanied.
Regarding pharmacies, which have also been overwhelmed in recent days, some of them have placed screens, others have painted lines on the floor to separate the counter and most have limited entry to the premises.
At gas stations, the problems with the number of people are less, although precautions are also being taken. Early on Monday morning, access to some of the stores was still allowed, keeping a prudent distance, but hours later they were closed and payment is made through the outside window. Thus, access to the interior is not allowed, a measure that began to be applied on Sunday in some gas stations.
