According to the reports, two of the employees, a 72-year-old female employee and her husband, and a 69-year-old male employee died of Coronavirus. Reports further suggest, there are six more confirmed cases of Coronavirus among the employees, and a few more results are yet to come.

The Health Department ordered the shut down of the store after multiple employees complained about a lack of social distancing and safety wears like masks.

One of the employees also spoke about the situation where he stated, "It was terrible. There was no way we could be six feet apart. There were wall-to-wall people. They just bombarded at one time. We're supposed to only have a certain amount of people in there, but we didn't. It was too many; they were everywhere."

TCHD has ordered some special changes to the store before it reopens. Till then, the store will stay shut down until further notice.
