COOPER: Supermarkets and grocery and other essential stores are starting new safety measures to help protect shoppers and employees during the pandemic. For more on this, I want to bring in CNN's Amara Walker. So what are some of the steps that retailers are taking?</s>AMARA WALKER, CNN ANCHOR & CORRESPONDENT: In the coming days, we'll see changes, Anderson, at least at major grocery chains. When it comes to occupancy limits, stores like Walmart will significantly reduce the number of shoppers inside of the store at any given time. So, for example, Walmart only allowing 20 percent of the maximum capacity compared to Kroger operating at 50 percent. Also, we'll see some stores enforcing one-way aisles. This is a way to protect shoppers from getting into contact with each other while they're walking through the aisles. Walmart, we're being told, will be using floor markers to direct foot traffic. Also, I think by the end of the week and next week, we're going to see more and more store employees at the grocery stores wearing face masks and gloves, including Target, Walmart and Kroger. They are not required to wear these face masks or gloves. They'll be strongly encouraged to wear them in most cases. And in places like at Walmart, they will be -- the supplies, not N-95 masks, but other kinds of masks, because those are in short supply and reserved for health care workers. We'll also see clearly separated entrances and exits at these stores. And we'll see temperature checks that will also be carried out. Anderson, I want to mention sadly, we're learning about deaths of grocery workers. Two workers at a Walmart in the Chicago area recently passed away due to COVID-19-related complications, along with one worker at a Giant's Food Market in Largo, Maryland. We know they are deemed essential workers. They can't stay home. And we've heard them in the past days and weeks saying they're concerned by just going to work. They're at risk of contracting coronavirus. Back to you.</s>COOPER: Amara Walker, appreciate it. Thank you very much. Our special coverage continues now with Kate Baldwin. I'll see you later tonight.
