Earlier this week Walmart temporarily closed a store in Hollywood for the same purpose, as was the case with a northwest Miami-Dade location that was closed at the end of December.

According to a spokesperson for Walmart, these closures and cleanings are “part of an ongoing company-initiated program.”

The company did not say whether either of the stores were dealing with outbreaks of COVID-19 among staff members.
