The Ministry of the Economy published an appeal on Tuesday, urging supermarkets to enforce specific precautionary measures.
Current guidelines require members of the public to maintain a 2 metre distance from others. The Ministry recommended supermarkets monitor store entrances and limit the number of customers entering the store.
On Wednesday, queues developed outside supermarkets as the measures were put in place.

After a number of chains installed their own precautions over the last few days, the procedures have now become part of the official guidelines. Nicolas Henckes, director of the Luxembourg Confederation of Commerce, said the public had not been following the previous sanitary guidelines.

The Ministry's statement confirms that social distancing will apply to supermarket entrances.
As long as hygiene and prevention measures are observed, cashiers at store tills should not be at any more risk than others.
