WOODSTOCK - Local grocery stores are starting to take extra precautions to protect their employees from COVID-19.
Sobeys announced today they are going to start installing plexiglass at the checkouts at all of their locations. In a release Sobeys states they have looked at best practices and these shields stand out as a strong safety precaution.
