Uniqlo, the Japanese casual clothing chain, is among a growing list of retail outlets that has implemented temperature checks on customers before allowing them into their chain of stores, including one in Richmond Centre.
In a bulletin posted on its website on May 19, the company said “all staff will take a daily temperature check and wear personal protective equipment. Customers’ temperatures will also be checked before entry to the store.”
In addition, shoppers, who are allowed to enter, are also asked to use hand sanitizer.
Uniqlo isn’t the first store to implement temperature checks on customers. T&T Supermarket, which has two locations in Richmond, and Foody World in north Richmond both announced last month that they will test customers for a fever before allowing them enter their grocery stores.
