Goodwill stores in southwestern Pennsylvania are reopening beginning Monday.

With Gov. Tom Wolf’s decision to move the area from red to yellow phase in the coronavirus reopening plan, the company will start with limited hours from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

According to a news release, these safety precautions will be implemented:

• Masks will be required for all shoppers and employees (unless covered by a medical exemption).

• Social distancing will be encouraged throughout the stores and there will be one-way aisles.

• A limited number of customers will be allowed in the store at one time.

• Fitting rooms and restrooms will be closed to the public.

• Enhanced cleaning measures will be in place, including high traffic and high touch areas such as shopping carts.
