Supermarkets in Wythenshawe, including Asda in the Civic Centre and Tesco in Baguley have stepped up social distancing measures in response to government advice to help halt the spread of COVID 19.
Please spread out when you shop. There is enough on the shelves. I had to use Officers to help manage a queue yesterday. This does not need to happen with your help. Keep social distancing. Don’t visit other people’s houses. This spreads the disease. pic.twitter.com/xCq5wCVjzH
