Additional hand sanitising stations have been put into stores and the supermarket has introduced antimicrobial handles to trolleys and baskets, which use a coating technology used to limit the spread of bacteria.
Safety marshals will be at the front of stores to help customers with safety queries and hand out face coverings where necessary.
The Asda website states: We have created 1,000 new Asda Safety Marshals stationed at the front of every store and in the aisles of larger stores. These colleagues will be on hand to help customers with safety queries and reiterate Government guidelines to wear a face covering and maintain social distancing while they shop.

Asda’s virtual queuing app, Qudini, is now available in all 421 superstores, which allows customers to wait in the comfort of their cars for a shopping slot if the supermarket is busy.
It can be downloaded on mobile devices via the App Store or Google Play.
This will help to reduce the queues outside but people are also asked to shop when the store is quieter.
A few stores are now open 24 hours and opening times can be checked using the online store locator tool.
The supermarket is also limiting numbers in-stores and staff are positioned on the entrances to help monitor the number of customers entering.
