Lakeland-based Publix Supermarkets are transitioning to one-way shopping aisles to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
In a statement, the company said:
"The health and well-being of our customers, associates and communities are our top priority. To help with customer traffic flow, we have added directional markings, companywide, to our aisles. This will allow customers and associates to better distance themselves while on the aisles."
Publix is also allowing employees to wear masks and gloves and Plexiglass barriers are being installed between customers and cashiers, as well as at pharmacies and customer service desks.
Several Publix employees in South Florida have tested positive for the coronavirus.
