Supermarket social distancing sign

Purple Waitrose poster for back of house areas with pink and white text reading ‘Let’s do as we say… Stay 2 metres away, Protect yourself, your colleagues and our customers by keeping your distance’, from Waitrose & Partners, Finchley and of the type used in Waitrose shops during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020

Staying at least two metres apart and not socialising with anyone you did not live with was the strictest version of social distancing in England. People were reminded of the rules by signs and by staff. It is estimated that spending more than 15 minutes within two metres of a person with COVID-19 can pass on the virus.

The purple and pink colour scheme indicate that this sign was used in staff areas of Waitrose stores.
