Supermarkets in the Commonwealth are now under orders to reduce the number of customers in stores at any one time.
The state has directed them to operate at 40-percent of normal occupancy.
The goal is to further promote social distancing as a way to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Other communities have been installing various limits.
Northampton bases their limits on the square footage of a store.
A 24 hundred square foot facility could only have 10 people in it at a time.
