Stores that have reopened since shutting down in response to the coronavirus pandemic have had to make some changes to how they do things.

For many, that has meant keeping their fitting rooms closed. But others have started to reopen store fitting rooms while implementing new policies, like only allowing every other room to be used, to allow for social distancing while shoppers try on clothes.

These retailers have reopened their stores' fitting rooms:

Nordstrom has reopened some fitting rooms and kept others closed. It's cleaning the rooms after each use and holding items for a period before returning them to the sales floor.
