Other recent coronavirus articles:

  • Instacart works to expedite delivery as coronavirus hikes orders

  • COVID-19 safety standards set for California grocery workers

  • BJ’s offers dedicated shopping hours for first responders, medical workers

  • Smithfield Foods to close Sioux Falls plant indefinitely amid COVID-19

One development — Hy-Vee to open DSW footwear ‘shop-in-shops’ — also felt the impact of the crisis, and even articles not directly related to COVID-19 could not completely escape the effects — and mention — of the pandemic.

  • Seven Earth Fare stores sold to Winn-Dixie, Whole Foods, Aldi
