In an effort to keep employees and customers safe in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, mega retailer Walmart, and its subsidiary wholesale business Sam’s Club, are mandating the use of face masks by workers.
The policy begins today and, in a letter to employees posted on its website, Walmart said it will also encourage customers to do the same.
“Today, we are sharing another step: We will begin requiring that associates wear masks or other face coverings at work. This includes our stores, clubs, distribution and fulfillment centers, as well as in our corporate offices. We’ll also be encouraging customers and members to wear face coverings when they shop with us,” stated the letter.
