Macy's file photo

The Macy's location at the Mall of Georgia in Buford is shown in this photo from the retailer. Macy's Inc. announced it will close stores for its brands — including Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury — until the end of the month because of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19.

Macy's shoppers will have to wait a couple of weeks before they can visit the retailer's brick-and-mortar locations again, after the company announced it will close for the rest of the month because of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19.

The closure will go into effect at the close of business Tuesday and will remain in effect until March 31. It affects not only the Macy's brand, but also Bloomingdale's, Bluemercury, Macy's Backstage, Bloomingdale's the Outlet and Market by Macy's stores.
