On a typical Easter Sunday, millions look forward to attending church, partaking in large family gatherings and egg hunts.
But with the Easter bunny on lock down and many practicing social distancing, things will likely be different this year.
Here's the Buzz: 68% of Americans, who celebrate Easter say their spending on the holiday will be affected by the coronavirus according to Wallethub’s new survey.
The data revealed Americans are more concerned about COVID-19 than the U.S. economy, and think lock downs will last longer than expected.
About half of those surveyed believe non-essential businesses, restaurants and travel should not restart for at least 3 months.
Most churches plan to host virtual or drive in services, which is more common amid the pandemic.
Many say they are skipping out on candy, new outfits and Easter foods this year.
