Whether they stayed open through the pandemic or are just starting to reopen, retailers are confronting a variety of state guidelines to help them implement social distancing. While there is no one-sized-fits-all solution, the authors offer three general principles, based on the fundamentals of operations management, their research on traffic flow within stores, and the best information available about the transmission of the virus.
These variations are due to differences in the prevalence of the virus, diversity in local attitudes toward social distancing, and political forces. It is also difficult to formulate and implement guidelines that apply to all types of stores because of variations in store layout, customer flow, and the willingness of customers to comply with social-distancing advice. To make matters even more difficult, we still have a limited understanding of how Covid-19 is transmitted.
