M&S has outlined its safety plans for when the majority of its clothing space is given the green light to reopen on 15 June. The British retailer has been operating its foodhalls since lockdown began, but its clothing spaces have been closed to shoppers.

Strict safety measures will include hand sanitiser on entry, staff managing the flow of people in and out of stores, floor markings and signage reminding customers to shop safely.

Fitting rooms for the meantime will remain closed, as will close-contact services, including bra fittings, suit fittings and children's footwear fittings and cafes to sit down and eat in. However selected stores will offer takeaway coffee with contactless collection.

Plexiglass screens will be installed at tills, and clear signage encouraging contactless payments.

All stores will sell items from M&S's Rainbow sale, which launched online two weeks ago. The retailer is donating 10% of the purchase price of all Rainbow sale items to NHS Charities Together.
