For Many People , inside, stuck, for weeks, it is a welcome change.

But with hundreds of thousands of confirmed cases of Corona Virus in the UK, shopping is not March , so be as it was before 23.

Here are five ways will be, how different is it from next week.

1. Shops are very different

look We have All seen the 2m markings and arrows on The Floor in supermarkets show customers how far they need to stay and which way to go, and this is now the case, in other non-essential stores.

People will also be asked to provide a fixed distance between each other on escalators. In the case of John Lewis , for example, the buyer will be required to stand for eight steps behind the other.

And only one person at the same time, the possibility of having a lift in a Department Store , unless they are from the same household.

In the case of Primark, Two People to lift one, But Only If you are at designated places.

Some retailers, such as Primark, which allows a group of People in their shops from Monday, But they must be from the same household. You also need to regulate the consequences of social distancing, as soon as you are inside the store.

Dan Simms, co-head of UK retail agency team of Colliers International , expects "the younger demographic advantage of the lifting of restrictions, to establish contacts and visit retail destinations".

But this is not expected to happen immediately from the Assembly, as at The Moment .

And some of the shopping malls, such as, for example, Manchester's Trafford Centre and the other is located in the possession of Intu, the interior Seating areas "to support the social distancing" and "People to deter them from Assembly".

in the Meantime, Don 't stop for a Cup of coffee with a friend or sitting to eat a bite limited, since some of the shops are opening their in-house cafes or restaurants.

3. To touch or not to touch?

The British Retail Consortium guidance is to buy the customers should not be prevented from handling the products that you are going to. But the policy varies very much from dealer to dealer.

At Selfridges , buyers can try on the Shoes , and the Shoes will be disinfected afterwards.

Kurt Geiger will also allow People to try on Shoes , provided that they use anti-bacterial hand gel first as well as a pop-sock, But then the Shoes are placed in quarantine for 12 Hours . But in the case of H& M, People will try to put on Shoes at All .

It's the same for clothes. In the Next, for example, can treat the customers clothes, But at Selfridges , shoppers objects are asked not to touch, unless you intend to buy. If you do it, the garment will be put in quarantine for 72 hours.

Some shops offer contactless.

In the case of Primark, the customer places the article Back To an employee to give at a cash register, complete with its receipt, which is scanned. The People will get their refund and take your Position, a returns Department, where it is held for 72 hours before it is back on The Shop floor.

In the Waterstone, that three-day rule also applies to books, the customers browsing in The Shop , which allow them to "self-heal"

Perhaps not surprisingly, People are not allowed to treat, make-up, or sniff a perfume Bottle .

hands off: the buyer will not be allowed to pick-up products, such as perfume

But says it in a shop a hard habit could break for some, a consumer psychologist Kate Nightingale.

"It is this almost automatic behavior of the muscles, where you want to touch something," she says. "But then you're in The Middle of the flow of your hand on The Counter [and] remember, 'no, I can't. '"

And this can lead to problems of the other.

4. People might be grumpy

Conventional wisdom suggests that everyone will be thrilled to Get Out of The House and treat yourself to A Day of shopping on Monday.

Much such as super markets, retailers ask customers in the queue, to prevent overcrowding in the shops and the People to maintain 2m social distance.
