Meijer is making some changes in hopes of keeping its workers and shoppers safe during the coronavirus pandemic. The Grand-Rapids based retailer announced over the weekend it will monitor and manage the number of shoppers in the store to support social distancing. In addition, Meijer will suspend the weekly sales ad beginning next Sunday to decrease the number of customers inside stores. As for employees, workers will undergo daily health screenings and temperatures checks as they arrive at the store. Meijer is also completing installation of protective plexiglass shields at all check lanes and pharmacies. Other locally owned grocery stores have also implemented similar protective measures and are offering curbside pickup to their customers
