According to NBC4i.com, our favorite shopping locations like Easton, Polaris, both Tanger Outlets, and Tuttle Mall have all reopened today. Customers can expect to see some restrictions and new policies like:
- Face coverings or masks of some kind are required for all workers. (There are some exceptions in some cases that have to do with worker safety.)
- Malls and retail stores must follow strict new rules including social distancing of six feet between everyone in the store.
- Store capacity will be limited.
- Some stores may have a time limit on shopping.
- Stores are required to have hand sanitizer available and must clean thoroughly throughout the day.
- Some stores may require customers to wear masks.
