Impact of the new coronavirus on the retail industry

Amid the ongoing situation with the novel coronavirus, the safest method is to switch from face-to-face interactions to online alternatives. We are witnessing such situations in the retail industry. A significant amount of purchasing behavior that traditionally took place in physical stores has temporarily shifted online. Due to the impact of indoor sheltering, there is also an increasing demand for relatively new fulfillment methods such as home delivery and curbside pickup. While there has been extensive reporting on the recruitment of hundreds of thousands of warehouse workers and delivery personnel, it is clear that the retail, wholesale, and manufacturing industries are coming together to respond to this consumer-driven shift in demand.
