NAVIGATING THROUGH COVID – 19

Mapes of Millport is committed to caring for the health and well-being of our staff, customers, local community and our vulnerable island residents. Read about the latest decisions being made by us and the actions being taken during the easing of lockdown for COVID-19.

As we are part of an island community who have been in complete lockdown since March 2020, we are taking precautions to ensure the safety of all moving forward.  

It is important that you adhere to the following measures we have put in place.

• Please keep 2 metres between yourself and all other people at all times, including whilst queueing. We have marked outside also as a guide.
• Please understand that due to space only 2 people or one family are allowed in the shop at any time.
• Please knock, wait and only enter when instructed to do so. This allows us to limit numbers inside.
• Please avoid touching anything where possible.
• Please use contactless payment if possible.
• Please use the hand sanitiser available at the door.
• Please wear a mask in the shop.
