Shop n Save will open all its seven supermarkets in Lautoka and Nadi today with strict physical distancing and 50% capacity measures with other COVID-19 protocols.
Director, Nisheel Deo says they have notified all their staff to report to work this morning.
He says they will be following all COVID-19 protocols.
Shop and Save has three supermarkets in Lautoka City, two in Nadi Town and one each in Namaka and Votualevu.
Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama has announced that supermarkets and shops selling food can open in the lockdown areas so that people can buy food.
However, Bainimarama says it is vital that vendors and businesses ensure strict physical distancing before opening their doors.
The Prime Minister has told businesses to make sure customers in queues are spaced out by two metres and manage crowding.
He says customer-facing businesses should limit customer capacity to 50%.
Bainimarama stresses that businesses that do not manage these risks with COVID-safe plans will be shut down.
The Prime Minister says restaurants may not open for in-person dining but may offer delivery and takeaway services.
