Several grocery and general merchandise stores, which sell food, throughout Whitley County and the surrounding area have changed hours due to the coronavirus or COVID-19.
Many of these stores are also setting aside a time for only seniors and those with other medical vulnerabilities to shop in order to limit their exposure to the virus.
