It seems that the announcement of easing of some coronavirus related restrictions has given people permission to ignore social distancing. We have refreshed the signs and installed new floor markings yet people walk around as if social distancing is over. We ask for appropriate distance to be maintained and what’s the problem is a response or don’t you want my money.
I’ve heard about this from plenty of retailers over the last few days. Concern is heightened with staff often concerned for their own health.
I’d like to see clearer messaging from government, especially in the light of recent fresh outbreaks.
Complacency is going to put COVID right back in front of us and many of the public have no one to blame but themselves.
But they won’t, it will be the Governments fault…..
Make sure all your CCTV is operating correctly and directed at possible problem areas.
Retail ppl should not have to put up with crap from Mr or Mrs Pig Public
A consistent message from politicians and health experts would be a good start. The messages changed just over a week ago, unfortunately, especially out of Canberra.
too easy to blame somebody else. the individual and those close to the offenders need to look out for their own self.
If this message didn’t sink in then no repeating and more repeating of it won’t help.
Australia’s gone broke in the meantime including retailers -big time.
How clear does it have to be.
It’s on social media, internet, tv , radio. In magazines, newspapers and leaflets. On entrances to government buildings, shops, medical centres, rest homes. It screams loudest from cafes, restaurants, pubs. The silence is deafening in cinemas, nail bars and beauty salons. It’s on answer phones and on every door you try to open.
The masses are bored, it is yesterday’s news, they played the game and have had enough.
Give they what the want. But do not open the SA borders.
When challenged people have said – the government said they want to get the economy moving. That’s where messaging needs to be adjusted. Media plays a role, especially News Corp. media that have been attacking some state governments and their moves.
