Publix will require customers to wear face coverings while shopping in stores beginning tomorrow. The grocer joins a list of other retailers implementing mask requirements, including Kroger, Walmart, Target, Albertsons Cos., and more.
Signs announcing the new requirement will be posted at store entrances, and in-store announcements will be made. This requirement will not apply to young children and those with medical conditions who are not able to wear face coverings. Publix encourages those who are not able to wear face coverings to consider using Publix Delivery and/or Curbside Pickup.
“With the number of coronavirus cases continuing to grow and current CDC guidance indicating face coverings can help slow the spread of COVID-19, we believe requiring face coverings in our stores is another way we can do our part to help protect our communities,” said Publix director of communications Maria Brous, in a statement.
