It is hard to believe that just a few months ago, relatively few people wore masks in public and virtually no one knew what social distancing meant. Almost immediately, both became a way of life, and as an essential business that never closed, food retailers had to rapidly adapt.

Just as many of these changes will likely be with us for some time, the pandemic may also bring about other modifications at grocery stores and other food retailers, which could affect where and how refrigeration systems are applied.
