-

-
Physical distancing of two meters between traders and 1,5 meters between customers should always be maintained;
-
Traders will display clear signs on stalls reminding patrons to keep 1.5 meters distance;
-
Clearly demarcated lines marked in red, enforcing the 1.5 metre rule should be visible in front of each stall;
-
The Informal Traders Associations will be responsible for the roster of traders as well as ensuring the above requirements are strictly adhered to.
