Lack of covid regulations in stores

Seeing none of your store management is around I have written to the Minister of Health requesting an investigation into Woolworths South Africa lack of social distancing in their stores (Plattekloof Village, Canal Walk/Century City and Tyger Valley Centre) around Cape Town.

Whenever I visit their stores, people do not social distance "Close contact means that you had face-to-face contact within 1 metre or were in a closed space for more than 15 minutes with a person with COVID-19." in the check out line and will intentionally stand right behind you as if line is normal, when you then looking for store management they are missing in action no where to be seen.

None of the staff offer any support or interventions, when I am standing there having to repetitively enforce social distancing for the same of my family and friends.

This conduct cannot below allowed, as with the amended regulations, what guarantee do I have that the person standing on my back is not covid positive asymptomatic and later the day symptomatic.

I have again need to explain to members of the public that I am a medical doctor and their lack of social distancing results in me having to video call families while turning off life support measures for the patient!!!

For reference I hold these qualifications: MBChB PG: Coronavirus - What you need to know PG: Pivot & Thrive: How to get Through the Rest of the Covid-19 Pandemic
