Mind The Gap Part 2: businesses continue to miss the mark on COVID-19 – as lockdowns continue

Mind The Gap Part 2: businesses continue to miss the mark on COVID-19 – as lockdowns continue

Businesses and customers continue to struggle to meet Covid-19 safety protocols which negatively impact safety and sales. This is the continued findings of a follow up survey carried out by MSPA Europe/Africa during July and repeated in November 2020.

The survey evaluated the experiences members of the general public when visiting over 5.000 locations in both July and November 2020, ranging from shops, supermarkets, car dealers, fast food and dining establishments.  Based on the principles of COVID transmission prevention, findings were split out into performance on sanitisation, signage, staff and customer social distancing and staff PPE and customer Mask wearing. Respondents were asked about their resultant feeling of safety and likelihood to return to the places they visited.

The findings show varying gaps in compliance to local government guidelines with a potential health impact and a definite impact on consumer confidence and advocacy levels.

Summary Report

The virus knows no country boundaries but national policies do…

The fight against COVID-19 is not a competition between countries so we do not compare or rank, but we can contrast.  What is clear is that every country has a different journey and as a result a different destination. There is evidentially no clear path.   From acknowledgement that the virus exists, through health advice and provision, to government policy, engagement of people, commitment of businesses, education of their employees and monitoring implementation. All of these stages are essential, but our analysis shows each country is in a different place. Let us hope we all end up at the right destination with as many of our employees, customers and people with us.
