Comments Off on What is open in Atlanta GA during the coronavirus?

During coronavirus, there has been a myriad of rules and regulations of what people can and can’t do, and what businesses can and can’t open. Sometimes it can be hard to keep up with the goings-on, especially when these vary by state or even by city. To help you understand a little bit more about what is open in Atlanta, GA, during the coronavirus, we have put together a brief list to give you an idea of some of the options available to you.

  1. HOME DEPOT

Home Depot prides itself on never closing its store even in times of crisis, because, after all, they are an essential part of the community. Since Home Depot sells items needed for home emergencies such as plumbing, electrical, and heating equipment, it is important that they do what they can to stay open. There have been some changes put in place though, for example; during this time, stores will close earlier than normal (see your local store for closing times), in order to be able to clean and sanitize each night. The number of customers allowed in the store is also limited, and of course, masks must be worn. They are also expanding their online presence making it easier than before for customers to place orders online if they would prefer.

  1. PLANET FITNESS
