Coronavirus update from Kmart
Message received via email:
Dear customers,
At Kmart, our priority is always serving our customers and the communities we operate in. We seek to provide a safe environment for our customers and our team members and in times such as these, we believe it is our role and responsibility to do our best to ensure we can provide access to the products people need, while doing everything we can to keep our customers and our team safe and healthy.
I wanted to share some of the things we're doing to ensure everyone who shops with us or works with us is safe, as well as do our bit to prevent the spread of Coronavirus COVID-19.
First we are following the advice of the Australian Government and World Health Organisation and their recommendations for minimising the spread of this virus.
Over the past few weeks we have taken a range of precautionary measures across our stores including:
Commencing increased cleaning and sanitisation of our stores.
Preparing our teams to respond quickly to any emerging situation should it occur to best ensure the health and safety of everyone involved.
Asking any team members displaying flu like symptoms to refrain from coming to work and introducing additional benefits for team members to ensure none of our team members are disadvantaged financially through this process.
Over the coming weeks we will continue to monitor the situation closely and act quickly on the advice of health authorities. This may mean you see things that look a little different in our stores as we take additional precautions. We appreciate your patience and your support as a customer.
I would also ask that if you are feeling unwell please take care of yourself and those around you. Should this be the case or if you prefer not to visit us in store we are always happy to welcome you online at www.kmart.co.nz...
If you have any questions or would like to know more about the steps we are taking to protect our customers and team, you can contact us on 0800 945 995 or www.kmart.co.nz.../contact-us
We look forward to serving you,
Ian Bailey
Managing Director Kmart Group

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
