One-way aisles now required at Walmart to encourage social distancing

There will be floor decals in place to help indicate the direct traffic flow

(KYMA, KECY)-In order to encourage social distancing, Walmart begins mandating one-way aisles while shopping for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Starting April 23, all Walmart locations will implement the single direction aisles. 

In a statement, Walmart says, "We’ll also institute one-way movement through our aisles next week in a number of our stores, using floor markers and direction from associates. We expect this to help more customers avoid coming into close contact with others as they shop. We’ll continue to put signage inside our stores to remind customers of the need to maintain social distancing – especially in lines."

Once customers check out, they will be directed to exit through a different door than they entered. To read more on Walmart's statement, click here.
