An Australian supermarket chain will start opening its doors exclusively to customers over 60-years-old for one hour a day as part of an effort to ease the burden of panic-buying on the most vulnerable, according to AFP.
“Woolworths Supermarkets will be opening exclusively for the elderly and those with a disability to shop from 7am to 8am,” the company said in a statement.
The measure is expected to come into effect on Tuesday and run for the rest of the week, when the policy will be reviewed and potentially extended.
