A team of "social distancing champions" will be on hand to guide customers around the malls and signs and stickers will act as reminders, centre bosses revealed today.

Hand sanitisers will be installed and enhanced cleaning procedures are being implemented.

All centre staff will be provided with masks.

It was revealed last month the centre was planning to introduce the one-way system after pictures showed lanes marked through the mall.

Robert Goodman, Senior Centre Director, Bluewater said: “Safety is our highest priority.

"We’re working hard to ensure we adhere to all government guidelines at Bluewater, and will be taking a robust approach to cleanliness and hygiene.

"As well as the thorough cleaning of the centre, we will be using floor stickers and signs to remind guests to keep the required distance apart, will be providing hand sanitiser for guests and staff to use at a number of points throughout the centre, and our security and concierge team will be available to help manage queuing.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming our guests back and will be fully compliant with government guidance at all times.”

A list of opened stores will be published on the centre's website from June 15 with a range of information about how to shop safely.
