I know the guy that has the virus and Target tried to dismiss him for not showing up to work.
Gloves are not effective for multiple contact situations, they need hand sanitizer and to be instructed to use it OFTEN, or they are going to use gloves, they need to change gloves between every person who checks out, also, gloved hands do not get cleaned, so the odds of spreading it are worse.
“Those supplies are rolling out now”? In other words their workers still don’t have them yet?
