THE McDonald's drive-thru at Chalon Way, St Helens Linkway and Earlestown have re-opened this morning, Wednesday.

St Helens Star:

For those who cannot wait to visit the fast food chain, there will be a number of new safety procedures in place.

St Helens Star:

McDonald’s and its franchisees are working closely with local authorities and police, and may determine that it is necessary to close drive-thru lanes if queues cause disruption at busier sites or put employees or customers at risk.

St Helens Star:

There will also be social distancing in the kitchens, Perspex screens at drive-thru windows, employees wearing protective equipment and contactless thermometres to take employees' temperatures on arrival for every shift.

Although the restaurants are open for business, they will be offering a limited menu and reduced opening hours.
