Stores will not allow more than 5 customers for each 1,000 square feet at a given time.

This equates to roughly 20 percent of the stores capacity.

Store associates will stand at a queue at a single-entry door and direct customers who will be admitted one at a time and counted.

The grocery entrance will be utilized for this purpose at most locations.

Once a store reaches its capacity, customers will be admitted inside on a one person out, one person in basis.

Walmart will also be instituting one-way movement through aisles beginning next week in a number of stores.

Once customers check out, they’ll exit through a different door than they entered to lesson customer contact.
