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.
Also the Zehrs in Woodstock has installed new sanitation stations which are pictured in the article. The Independent in the Town of Ingersoll has also installed new sanitation stations as well.
