Don’t have a mask? They’re simple enough to create at home. The Tampa Bay Times has a handy article that shows you exactly how to make one in just minutes.
Publix has also pivoted during this time. In addition to plexiglass at the registers, the store is also making its aisles one-way to assist in social distancing while shopping.
