Grocery Stores Begin Easing COVID-19 Rules

Grocery stores like Target and CostCo are beginning to loosen up their regulations.
Representatives have said they will be extending hours, bringing back things like free samples and changing the number of people allowed in the stores.

Brandon Brown, an epidemiologist from the University of California has said:

Premature reopening and relaxing of safety measures could trigger another surge in COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths, like the ones seen in states like Arizona and Florida.
