In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, many big retailers changed their opening hours, cleaning procedures, and delivery options to meet customer needs. However, due to growing concern for those most vulnerable to COVID-19, many of these retail chains announced they would reserve special hours for seniors and at-risk shoppers, so they can get what they require while avoiding crowds.
