Target announced that it will limit the number of customers in all stores across the United States as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus continues to spread.
The Minneapolis-based firm wrote in a news release that starting Saturday, it “will actively monitor and, when needed, meter guest traffic in its nearly 1,900 stores nationwide to promote social distancing.”
If a store has to limit shoppers, a “designated waiting area outside with social distancing markers” will be used, the chain said.

“The measures we’re announcing today are aimed at ensuring we are creating a safe environment for the guests who continue to turn to Target, while also providing our team with additional resources as they fulfill an essential service in communities across the country,” said John Mulligan, Target’s chief operating officer, in a statement.
