Aldi has implemented a series of safety measures across its 144 Irish stores including:

 

A traffic light system is in place which continuously counts the number of customers entering and exiting the store, showing a green light for capacity and a red light when capacity has been reached. This system, with your cooperation, enables us to ensure appropriate social distancing in the stores.

Clear markers show the space customers must maintain if required to queue for a short time before entering the stores.

Clear protective screens at every till.

Clear markings to show the 2m distance you should maintain when paying for your shopping at the checkouts.

A self-service cleaning station upon entry to stores for cleaning both trolleys and baskets.

Hand sanitiser for customers at the entrance to stores.

The transaction limit on contactless payments has been increased to up to €50.
