These are the guidelines being told to every citizen at every level in nearly every country due to COVID-19. If you don't have an essential reason to leave your home, simply don't. Despite this, GameStop is doing what it can to remain open and ask for your business in times like this because it considers itself to be essential retail. > Essential retail hasn't been mandated at the US government level but typically includes the following categories of retail: grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores, gas stations, farm equipment and hardware stores, restaurants that abide by the social distancing rules, and others. Hobbyist retails such as Best Buy are questionably essential because of their ability to provide cellular phone service in times of need but even they are experimenting with reduced hours and curbside pickup.
