Lulu Hypermarket has opened two checkout counters at each of its Bahrain locations dedicated to providing priority service for busy healthcare professionals working hard to contain the coronavirus spread.
An official at the company said: “We at Lulu Hypermarket take this opportunity to thank all the healthcare professionals for their selfless care of the community in Bahrain and around the world.
“Our doctors, nurses, technicians, pharmacists and all the workers in hospitals and throughout the public and private healthcare system are our frontline soldiers. They are protecting us, our health and lives in the fight against COVID-19.”
To avoid having to wait in long queues, no ID is required and health care professionals simply have to line up at the two new counters.
Supermarkets and hypermarkets across the country have been experiencing significant foot traffic and delays at their checkout counters in the last few weeks.
With the closure of commercial shops tomorrow, Lulu Hypermarket, along with other supermarkets and hypermarkets, as well as cold stores, bakeries, pharmacies and banks will remain open.
