So shopping during Christmas (with a major emphasis on COVID) requires full observation of COVID protocol
Traffic in the same direction
During this season people interestingly come out for various reasons. But what is paramount is that a large number of people are possibly coming out to shop in preparation for Christmas. This entails people visiting different shopping malls, Groceries store and a host of other locations for the same purpose. It all depends on individual Interests. By this, markets and other related locations would start attracting traffic from various directions all in the interest of buying and selling. Usually, it happens almost at the same time and location. With the movement of people towards the same direction the likelihood of having such places being overstretched with people is certain. Preferably, one should consider the right time to go out shopping.

For this reason, what is proper or advisable is to be conscious of covid and avoid rowdy places, particularly this time around. Nevertheless, much carefulness is required in order to avoid unprotected closeness and body contact.
