State officials in Vermont are ordering large retailers that sell critical items such as food and prescription drugs to stop the in-person sale of nonessential products.
Whenever possible, stores such as Walmart, Target and Costco must stop the sale of nonessential items and require online or telephone ordering, delivery, and curbside pickup.
Big box retailers generate significant shopping traffic by virtue of their size and the variety of goods offered.
The items that cannot be sold in person include clothing, consumer electronics, books, furniture, and sporting equipment.
