    From the article:

    Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker ordered all non-essential businesses to close on March 24. GameStop apparently continued to operate in that state for a week before authorities put their foot down. In reply to criticism about the company’s concern for its employees, GameStop said all employees had been told they did not have to work if they did not feel comfortable doing so, and that furloughed workers would be paid for two weeks at their regular rate.
