Masks, Lines and Shopping Carts

Karen Maas sanitizes shopping carts at the Maynard Crossing Harris Teeter in Cary.

In the third week of North Carolina’s stay-at-home order, people are returning to area grocery stores to replenish supplies. Long lines are common, as customers must wait to enter the store, ensuring that only a few people are inside at one time. Even with these measures, social distancing can be difficult in the narrow aisles, and many customers wear cloth masks as an added precaution against the coronavirus.
