Costco also made changes to their store hours; their warehouses will now close at 6:30 PM Monday through Friday.
To help their customers shop safely, Costco is also still honoring their senior hour from 8 to 9 AM Tuesday through Thursday for members 60 years or older and those with physical impairments.
With these measures, Costco is aiming to take care of their community's needs while keeping them as safe and healthy as possible.
