What Do You Do To Prevent COVID-19 During Shopping?

I only in-person shop at grocery and hardware stores, my mask stays on until I arrive home and wash hands/face. Put items away and wash hands a second time. Going an hour before close on Monday or Tuesday evenings has worked out for me in terms of crowds.
We’ve been buying groceries and take out online since last year. The last time I went to a mall was 2 weeks ago to go to LV and they had a limit of how many people could be in the store. Almost every single store has 6 feet distance decals on the floor so people keep apart.
People are required to wear masks indoors in Vancouver and, thankfully, it’s rare that you see someone not wearing one. We put on our masks as soon as we leave the house and don’t take them off until we get back home. We wash our hands right when we get home and bring hand sanitizer when we’re out.

I shop for two senior people. I go very early in the morning and I keep my distance from people.
In March, i began wearing 2layer masks. When the second wave hit, 3 layer maskS. Since the news on the covid variants, 4 layer masks and some shield or eyeglasses.
Either I wear two masks so I can get to 4 layers. Or I do have some 2-layer masks that have space for inserts. For those, I insert a folded cloth to add two layers within it.
I have bought the 2layer masks with insert slots from Chapters/Indigo, Costco, and Tory Burch. But they should say on the package the number of layers and if there is slot room.
I definitely do not rewear masks with the covid variant active now. Wear and wash/toss everyday. I also wear them outside when taking a walk. I’ve been reading 6 feet/1 meter is not enough distance. And with the cold I wonder if that allows particles to stay more easily in the air. I don’t visit w people except outside and even then I’m trying to maintain a distance. I haven’t seen my extended family in more than a year. Obviously I am taking no chances. I’d like to be able to say I survived a pandemic!
..I ad covid last April but I still take every precaution, mask, social distance, 6 ft apart, no large crowds, sanitizing etc.
