'We remain focused on guidance issued by health experts, including the CDC, as well as state and local health departments,' Walmart said.
Walmart and Sam's Club are reinstating their policy requiring employees to wear masks and recommend customers do the same in COVID-19 hot spots.
Signage informing customers of the new policy will be placed back on the doors. Customers in the specified hot spots are highly recommended to wear a mask while shopping to protect themselves from the hyper-transmittable Delta variant. The memo also noted that store managers will be tracking local county numbers and guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 's website every Monday.
Walmart employees started wearing masks back in April 2020, and customers were mandated to wear them starting in July 2020.
