Morrisons have introduced a brand-new new feature for shoppers at the entrance of all of their 494 supermarkets across the UK.
The announcement comes as part of a vast number of measures in order to increase its hygiene standards at every store.
We've put together everything you need to know.
What new cleaning measures are in place at Morrisons stores?
As part of a new programme, see every one of Morrisons 494 stores receive a three-week deep-clean, brand new equipment, and additional cleaning staff.
Morrisons bosses say the latest investment is to make customers feel even safer in store.
It follows the supermarket already spending £25million to implement store safety measures - such as Perspex screens, PPE for colleagues and floor markings and visible signage during lockdown.
Morrisons create thousands of new jobs nationwide
On Monday, September 14, a total of 2,240 brand new cleaning roles were created, including a new Market Street Hygiene Assistant in all stores - to clean food preparation areas across Market Street.
The company say this will ensure Morrisons foodmakers can concentrate on making fresh quality products for its butcher, baker, fishmonger, deli, greengrocer and florist departments.
Additionally, nearly 30,000 more hours each week will be put into Morrisons existing Housekeepers and Core Cleaning roles.
This will see more areas across its stores - such as toilets, shelving and ‘high touch’ areas - being cleaned even more frequently to protect colleagues and customers.
What new feature is being introduced at every supermarket entrance for shoppers?
New Welcome Cleaning Stations are also being fitted at all store entrances providing antibacterial wipes for baskets and trolleys, as well as hand sanitiser.
What have Morrisons said?
Jayne Wall, operations director at Morrisons said: "The hygiene within our stores has become more important than ever due to the impact of Covid-19.
"We want to make sure our customers feel as safe as possible when doing their grocery shopping with us.
"So we’ve made this multi-million-pound investment to introduce first class hygiene procedures."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
