Across the United States, some people have changed the way they live their lives because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to public safety, Santa Clara County recently extended stay-at-home orders through May.
Within San Jose, there are many people that still go outside. However, the way they live their lives has now been influenced by the pandemic.
Whether it is staying six feet apart, avoiding people, or wearing a mask, people choose different methods of safety precautions to protect themselves.
This is what going to the stores and food banks look like amidst the pandemic:
