The COVID-19 global pandemic has changed the way we shop for things offline. In India, a public-private initiative called ‘Suraksha’ has been introduced. The staff of stores registering for the program will be trained for attending customers following social distancing norms.
On completion of the process, these shops will be issued a certificate to denote them safe for the public. Since most of the stores are eligible for the initiative, Samsung and Xiaomi have become the first smartphone makers to have their retail stores Suraksha certified.
Samsung revealed 100% of its exclusive stores in India are Suraksha certified in a press release. Whereas, Xiaomi posted a video on YouTube explaining what customers need to take care of while visiting its stores. We have attached this video above for better understanding.
While entering any Suraksha certified or any store for matter, customers should wear a mask and need to follow social distancing by standing in boxes or circles drawn on the surface. At the entrance, the security or staff will first check the body temperature and if found normal, the person will be provided hand sanitizer. Only then, they can step their foot into the store.
Further, visitors are not allowed to touch any product or surfaces. They can experience the product only if they are going to buy by requesting a pair of gloves from the staff. Also, the whole store is sanitized more times than before to avoid any possible infection.
Last but not least, customers are advised to make digital payments instead of cash.
