ORLANDO, Fla. — The grocery store chain Winn-Dixie announced changes to its daily operations over concerns of the spread of the coronavirus.

Starting Monday, March 16, 2020, all its stores will close at 9 p.m. nightly
This schedule shift is until further notice
The stores will no longer operate self-serve deli bars
Customers can buy prepackaged deli items
Customers who use the company’s delivery service can opt to use a ‘drop and leave’ feature to avoid personal contact with the delivery person

Beginning today, March 16, all #WinnDixie stores will close at 9 p.m. until further notice. This allows our team the time they need to appropriately restock, and conduct additional sanitation procedures in service of providing a shopping experience you can always count on. pic.twitter.com/F6BdfU1UWK
