Media Release - Stage 1 - delivery businesses

Delivery drivers reminded of importance of wearing face coverings and gloves

As Stage 1 begins in Guernsey today, it is expected there will be a significant increase in deliveries as more businesses resume operating, always in a non-customer-facing way.

Delivery drivers are being reminded that they must, under the rules for Stage 1, wear gloves, socially distance and follow all hygiene guidelines. Deliveries must also be undertaken by only one person. Goods must be left on the doorstep or outside, with no direct customer interaction. Delivery drivers are also strongly recommended to wear face coverings.

All businesses that are intending to resume trading in Stage 1 are again reminded to fill in the notification form declaring their intention to operate, if they have not already done so, and to carefully check the guidance to ensure they understand the requirements for trading safely.
