As the COVID-19 situation in the U.S. continues to change, Home Depots focus has been for the health and safety of their customers and associates.

it is a difficult task for essential businesses to continue to operate but also provide a safe shopping environment for us. A company is only as strong as its workforce and keeping employees safe is of paramount concern.

Here are some of the temporary changes Home Depot stores are implementing:

  • Store hours have been adjusted to close daily at 6 p.m. to give staff more time to perform cleaning and restock shelves. Opening hours will not change.
  • Limits to the number of customers inside at any given time.
  • Thermometers will be distributed to associates in stores and distribution centers, and employees will be asked to perform health checks before reporting to work.
