Holiday shopping do’s and don’ts during COVID-19

As the holiday season gets underway, shopping may look a lot different this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. When choosing retail stores to visit, Dr. John O’Horo, a Mayo Clinic infectious diseases physician, says you should look for businesses that take extra precautions to create an environment that limits exposure to the virus—and be sure to follow those important protocols.

Look for businesses that offer safety precautions for their customers and staff, including the following:

  • Enforces face mask policy
  • Offers face masks if you forget one
  • Hand sanitizer at entrance
  • Touch-free payment options
  • Encourages social distancing
  • Limits the number of customers in the store at one time
