The Neiman Marcus Group , which owns Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Last Call, and Nordstrom, Inc. , which owns Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack and Trunk Club, said Tuesday that they, too, would be closing all physical stores for at least two weeks.

Saks Fifth Avenue said it intends to remain closed for the same duration unless otherwise instructed by government or public health officials, and we will reassess operations at that time.

Customers of the department stores impacted by closures will still be able to purchase items online.
