**Worried about the pandemic? Liberty Market has one of the most robust pandemic response plans in the industry and was one of the first in New Zealand to introduce mask-wearing at the start of the pandemic. You can say we are obsessed with infection prevention, and that's OK. 
-So that means respiratory protection for everyone when there's a severe outbreak in our community. After all we are in the health food business and keeping everyone healthy is our mission. 
-We installed germicidal air purifiers throughout our store, in a layered approach to make Liberty Market an even safer place to shop and work.
-Free surgical and N95 respirators are provided for all staff members who want one to use on the job.
