COVID-19 Update
The health, safety and wellbeing of our people and customers is our highest priority.
7-Eleven already has high standards in place for store cleanliness and food safety. However, we’ve reminded all of our teams about best practice hygiene, increased the frequency of cleaning, and are following our food safety plans. Our team members have all been reminded to focus on their own health and wellbeing, and to be vigilant about following government health advice regarding COVID-19.
We’re continually monitoring the COVID-19 situation, and are making any adjustments to our operations that are needed based on the latest advice of the Department of Health and the relevant authorities.
7-Eleven team members have also been reminded that if they have been in close contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 and they themselves show symptoms that they self-quarantine and seek medical attention. The Department of Health defines ‘close contact’ as face-to-face contact in any setting for at least 15 minutes or sharing of a closed space for prolonged periods (e.g. more than 2 hours).
Customers can get fuel, food and other necessities from our stores as they normally would. We’d encourage all of our customers and team members to remain vigilant and we thank our customers for their understanding.
