Best Buy, which initially saw increased demand in March as people purchased items for use while they stay at home during the CCP virus pandemic, said it now has to furlough tens of thousands of employees.

In a news release on Wednesday, the Minnesota-based electronics retailer said it will have to furlough about 51,000 domestic hourly store employees starting on April 19. That includes nearly all part-time employees.
