A number of large retailers, including Joe’s, Walmart traders, and Costco, have announced that they will no longer need vaccinated customers to wear masks in their stores. The decision came, in some cases, in a few hours from the latest CDC mask guidance, but not all companies are ready to raise their mask requirements. Apple is officially calculated among the last groups.
The latest CDC mask guidance has proven controversial, with some expressing concerns that because of the inability to determine who has been vaccinated, the ‘honor system’ guidance will produce many unavusted individuals also throw their masks. It will place shop workers who have not been vaccinated at an increased risk of viral exposure.
Apple has made a decision to keep the mask mask for his retail store for now, according to Bloomberg, noting that it will continue to monitor safety measures. It is not clear when the company will lift its mask mask for vaccinated customers, but is based on its decision on employee safety and customers.
The company faces difficult decisions about whether they have to remove their store masks for vaccinated individuals who are ready to stop wearing their facial masks or whether they should continue with the mandate to provide buyers and workers with security and protection from customers who are not vaccinated.
Many states still have masks remove them quickly after the latest CDC mask guide, which allows individuals who are fully vaccinated to stop wearing masks except in certain situations, including in public transportation, in a medical shelter, and in homeless shelter. Other countries still evaluate their mask mandates and have not removed it.
