Coronavirus update

The world health community continues to monitor closely the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the disease it causes, named "coronavirus disease 2019" (COVID-19). At this time, no one knows how severe this outbreak will be in our community. Given this uncertainty, and the fact that the seasonal influenza (flu) virus is also widespread, we at Cornell's are taking proactive steps to address a number of business concerns.

First and foremost, we want to maintain a safe shopping environment and encourage and/or adopt practices protecting the health of employees, customers, visitors or others. Second, we want to ensure the continuity of business operations in the event of a pandemic so we can continue to serve our community without interruption.

We ask our customers to cooperate in taking steps to reduce the transmission of communicable diseases. You can help by remembering the following:

 Stay home when you are sick.
 Wash your hands frequently with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds.
 Cover your mouth with tissues whenever you sneeze, and discard used tissues in the trash.
 Avoid people who are sick with respiratory symptoms.

For our part we are sanitizing frequently touched surfaces in our store such as keyboards, telephones, countertops, railings, shopping carts, and other surfaces on a daily basis. We are encouraging our staff to stay home if they exhibit signs of infection, and providing hand sanitizer and soap for their use while at our store.

We are also working diligently with our suppliers to keep flu related items in stock, such as cleaners, disinfectants, gloves, and masks. You can check on product availability via our website:

We know that the coming days and weeks will be challenging for all of us and we want to assure our staff and customers that we will do the best we can to provide a safe shopping and work environment and remain open to serve the needs of our community.
