Costco is bringing back food samples. Other stores are relaxing coronavirus policies. Is that safe? - Mercury News

Costco is bringing back free food samples. Target is accepting customer returns on all merchandise. And Kroger is returning to its pre-pandemic store hours at some locations.

Stores that were deemed “essential” and kept their doors open throughout the coronavirus pandemic are now taking steps to return to normal. The changes may be welcomed by customers who miss the conveniences of daily life pre-pandemic. But some worker safety experts, epidemiologists and labor groups warn that these companies are prematurely relaxing the safety measures they enacted in March and April to prevent the coronavirus from spreading.

The easing of policies is playing out as more states and cities loosen stay-at-home orders and as retailers, malls and restaurants reopen.
