Who can and CANNOT SHOP

Norma from Helensville

I would love to have absolute clarity as to who must NOT go to the shops.It is my understanding that if your over 70 you are NOT allowed to go to the supermarket.Some of my friends think that's incorrect.Also shopping with your partner seems to be confusing .My son and his partner went shopping together (he was shopping for me and his partner shopping for her parents)They were not allowed in the shop together so my Son waited in the car before shopping for me.It would seem that some supermarkets aren't complying and I applaud new world for enforcing that rule.Countdown on the other hand have told me I'll be welcome to shop even though I'm in my 80s with already serious underlying health issues.Does anyone know for sure what is 100% correct?
Phew hope someone can help me do the right thing .I've no wish to be arrested lol

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
