Trader Joe’s has temporarily closed its store at 72nd Street and Broadway for cleaning after an employee tested positive for the coronavirus. The employee was last in the store on March 26 — Thursday — according to a sign on the door.

Update: the store remained closed as of Saturday afternoon.

In general, health professionals have been advising people to have groceries delivered to their homes instead of going to the stores, if possible. Several stores are now offering this option. Please tip well!
