"When we see that not happening, there is a concern that that may actually propagate the further spread of infection," Fauci said. Caruso said his company has adopted a strict commitment to public health measures at its properties. "We have ambassadors that go around, and we have little kits. We have hand sanitizers, we give you a mask if you don't have one. We remind you to put a mask on. The store needs to do the same thing, which our stores are," he said.
Caruso said this approach is necessary to ensure the Covid-19 crisis does not escalate further and bring about even more significant economic consequences. He also said consumers will reward companies that prioritize public health. "It's just part of what we have to do in order to survive this and get through this and keep businesses open, because a second closure is just going to be a dramatic negative impact to this economy," Caruso said.
