Costco announced it will limit the number of meat items shoppers are able to purchase during visits to the store.
According to the company, fresh meat will be limited to a total of three items per member among beef, pork and poultry products.
The move comes after operations at a number of meatpacking plants have been impacted due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
During the outbreak, Costco has implemented a number of temporary policies for shoppers.
