ORLANDO, Fla. Starting Monday, any shopper entering a Walmart or Sams Club location will need to wear a facial covering as cases of COVID-19 spike across the country.
Between now and Monday, workers will be educated on how to enact the new policy and signage will be posted in stores.
At Sams Club, associates at the entrance will do the same and provide a free face mask if the member doesnt have one with them.
Employees at both stores will be trained to handle situations in which a customer cant wear a facial covering, for example, due to a medical condition.
As we have seen in states and municipalities with mask mandates, virtually everyone either brings a mask or readily complies with the requirement, and we anticipate that to happen in other areas as well, Smith wrote.
