We are proud to have set an explemary standard with the precautions and procedures we’ve put in place to support the effort to stem the spread of Covid-19 and ensure that both you and our staff are as safe as possible when at Totem

Following yesterday’s government announcement of increased restrictions and measures to combat the recent upsurge in infection rate, we wanted to reassure you that all the measures we have maintained remain in place in accordance with Public Health England guidelines. Our staff will continue to wear face masks to comply with latest regulations as they have done since the start

 Please ensure you follow the 3 steps below:

  1. Please comply with the procedures we request when you visit.  Everyone needs to take individual responsibility to minimise the chance of the virus spreading.  We ask you to remain vigilant in maintaining a 2m separation from others, to ensure that you bring a face covering when you visit.  You will now have to wear a face covering at all times when at a Bradfords branch, both in our shops and now in our yards too.  Finally, please don’t enter our shops without first using our wash stations at the shop entrances to clean your hands.
  2. If you have any of the Covid-19 symptoms (high temperature, new continuous cough, loss of taste and/or smell) please don’t visit.
  3. Please be patient: we have asked this a lot over the past 6 months or so, but this is now more important than ever.  Maintaining 2m distance inevitably means that some aspects of shopping with us take a bit longer.  We also may impose levels of entry restriction if we find that our store is particularly busy.  Our managers have robust criteria in place for initiating these measures.  We will endeavour to maintain the current ‘free flow’ in our store, but rest assured that where we think safety might be compromised, we will put that first and ensure that the numbers in our store are suitable to be able to maintain all our precautionary measures and procedures.
