Exclusive Hours for Senior Grocery Shoppers Help High Risk Group Avoid Large Crowds During COVID-19

The photograph is of a grocery store sign in Blanchard, Oklahoma that has exclusive hours for senior citizens. Starting 03/18/2020 the grocery store, Spencer's Grocery, instituted a 6:30 to 8:00 AM seniors only (60+ years old) shopping period. This has been in practice ever since and offers those in the higher risk category a less crowded alternative way to shop for groceries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Contributed by Clinton P.
