Cricket COVID-19 Updates

To ensure the safety of our employees and customers throughout the Covid-19 situation, here are measures we’ve advised our stores to practice:

• Disinfecting workspaces after every customer interaction and sanitizing common areas
• Installing plexi-glass at sales stations and wearing face coverings as per state or local requirements
• Wiping down all displays and hard surfaces multiple times per day
• Following directions provided by the CDC and other health organizations
• Accepting a limited number of customers at a time and using recommended distance markers to help align with the six-foot spacing guidelines

We’ll continue to update our safety practices as the situation evolves. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and for being a valued customer. Most of all, stay safe Cricket nation.

Here are few extra tips to help keep you healthy and connected using your own devices:

• Keep your device clean. Spray a non-abrasive or alcohol-based (70% isopropyl) disinfectant directly onto a soft lint-free cloth and wipe down your device while it is powered down and unplugged.
• Share items like photos through text messages instead of passing your phone around.
• Since devices can collect germs, avoid putting your device on public surfaces and try to use a Bluetooth device or a hands-free headset to minimize physical contact with the device.
