Business Fallout: Walmart limits hours, airlines cut flying
By The Associated Press undefined
WASHINGTON (AP) — A growing list of retailers are closing stores or limiting their operating hours as customers remain home amid the virus outbreak. Walmart is limiting store hours to ensure they can keep sought-after items such as hand sanitizer in stock. Other retailers are closing their stores including Urban Outfitters, Everlane and Patagonia. Meanwhile, the travel industry continues to reel from the outbreak. American Airlines said it’s sharply cutting back on international travel. The cruise industry has already agreed to halt outbound trips from the U.S. for 30 days. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin indicated the Trump administration is planning financial assistance for travel-related businesses.
