How might one both prevent and control an epidemic spreading of disease (for example COVID-19) in supermarkets? To answer this question, a simulation approach was proposed. A number of simulation experiments were performed. The likelihood of close contact with a carrier in different ticket queue configurations was compared. Based on the results, several tips and advice was developed for customers and market managers.
