(AP) — BENTONVILLE, Ark.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Walmart is changing the shopping process and limited customers in the store to help encourage social distancing.
In a statement, Walmart officials said, “We care deeply about our associates’ health and well-being, and in recent weeks we’ve taken steps such as expanding our paid leave policies; closing our stores overnight for cleanings and restocking; installing sneeze guards and social distance markers in stores; beginning temperature checks; and starting to make gloves and masks available to associates who want them.”
Once a store reaches its capacity, customers will be admitted inside on a “1-out-1-in” basis.
Aisles will be marked in some stores as one way using floor markers. This is to help customers avoid coming into contact with others.
Shoppers will be directed out of a different door than they entered, to help lessen the amount of people closely passing each other.
