PHOTOS: STORES EMPTY AMID CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAKThe Food Industry Association says they’ve discussed with retailers and manufacturers the possibility of hiring workers, such as restaurant workers, who would be struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, to help in drive-thru pick-ups and food deliveries as the outbreak moves forward.

CORONAVIRUS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWGrocery stores are adapting to meet the needs of consumers, including Publix -- which has now instituted 2-items-per-customer limits on the high-demand products such as bleach.
