C-19 Tip: Use the correct entrances to Migros
C-19 Tip: Die richtigen Eingänge zur Migros benutzen
Many stores have different entrances, think about how you can minimize unnecessary contact: - Use entrances without elevators (buttons!) - Use escalators instead of elevators (without handrails) - Prefer entrances near the toilets and wash your hands well before shopping, keep a paper napkin to clean the weighing handle afterwards.
- Choose vegetables/fruit/open bread with your eyes only (would actually always be the case...) - Keep your distance - Pay with contactless cards, even better with a credit card stored on the Migros app, as no code is required on other people's devices) - Load your car and then wash your hands again Blibet Xsund! Good example in Bern-Westside: In the U1 at M-Electronics there are toilets with automatic sliding doors.

Dear Migros team. I think the hygiene measures are very good! Thank you very much :-) I have a completely different concern regarding the coronavirus. It's about the hamster purchases. It's very annoying that whole shelves are always empty. Couldn't the Migros chain (like they do in Germany now) only allow a certain number of items per person? Instead of 5 packs of toilet paper, only 1-2 per person. The same for all the other items that everyone hoards. I think this would be an option to prevent everything from running out at once because everyone is hoarding... on the other hand, I find it really annoying that when you go shopping once a week, you realize that there is no toilet paper or other Migros products, which is why you go to Migros. Could you pass on this idea? Thank you very much

Hello Lily1966 Thank you for your input. These measures have already been brought to our attention and have also been discussed here. So far, however, we have refrained from imposing these restrictions. This also has to do with the fact that many people are now shopping for others. I can give you my own personal example: I shopped for myself, my neighbor and my parents. I bought toilet paper for 3 households. In very moderate quantities, so not 3 packs per household, but 3 packs in total. I even had a guilty conscience because I thought people would now think I was one of those hoarders... If there was a limit now... What would I do? Go through the store twice? Or pay a horrendous price for the second or third piece, as is often demanded? We have been trying to point out since the beginning that hoarding is not necessary. Of course, the toilet paper shortage tells a different story... And probably tempts many people to do a bit of hoarding themselves when they get their hands on some. Of course, that's not good and shouldn't be the case. But as mentioned above, there are reasons against rationing or increasing prices. We think at some point soon the cellars should be full and at some point it will no longer be possible to buy toilet paper (and other things) and then hopefully you won't be standing in front of empty shelves. By the way: When there was no toilet paper at Migros yesterday, there was at Denner in the same building. (I only saw it, didn't buy it ;) ) And Migrolino has dry yeast. So my insider tip: go to the smaller stores. Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed that there'll soon be no more trouble with empty racks! And yet: the topic of restriction is still on our minds. So maybe something will change after all if things stay like this. But we'll refrain from doing so today. Best regards, Nina
The last thing I found is that the virus remains active on stainless steel for up to 3 days, on cardboard for 24 hours etc. Hmhmhm, if you really go shopping "like that" (without a face mask with a special filter presumably?): Then hamster, or have it brought to you. We will all meet the virus, it will last a long time and come back. The point is that we all contact it in stages. There aren't enough frying devices for the whole of Switzerland in one go! Behave normally and sensibly and be good. If you're panicking so much - really stay at home now that it's getting so bad.

Best remedy: maximum one supermarket purchase per week. Given the spread of the coronavirus in Switzerland, it's madness to shop more than twice a week at the moment. And in the store: Don't touch everything, go through it briefly, fill the trolley with what you need. We only have this chance, then it could be over in two months, otherwise: high death rate and never-ending restrictions until the summer vacations... So: stay at home!

Dear Nina, thank you very much for your answer. Of course I understand that aspect. Oh well, it's a difficult time, so let's hope that everyone will soon have their cellars full and the shelves will then be restocked without being empty within a very short time. Thank you also for the tip about the small stores.
