We anticipate that you may need to advise on cleaning routines, different methods of accessing your business, deliveries impacted and other behavioural patterns that may change, even including partial closure.
2. Social Media – Outbound comms
if the physical world is being limited, there will be increases in the digital world as this touchpoint becomes a more important tool.

4. Website
Pages will need updating, you may need a pop-up page on your home page dedicated to the measures you are taking to mitigate risk. Customers will need to know if you are open, when you are open and how to access you (it might even be about the smaller details such as touching payment terminals)
