Walmart will require face coverings in all of its stores across the country starting on July 20.
Mandatory masks for customers will be enforced by employees upon entrances at more than 5,000 Walmart and Sam's Club stores, the company announced on Wednesday.
"As the number of confirmed cases has spiked in communities across the country recently, so too have the number and types of face covering mandates being implemented," wrote the retailer's Chief Operating Officer Dacona Smith in a blog post. "Currently about 65 percent of our more than 5,000 stores and clubs are located in areas where there is some form of government mandate on face coverings. To help bring consistency across stores and clubs, we will require all shoppers to wear a face covering starting Monday, July 20. This will give us time to inform customers and members of the changes, post signage and train associates on the new protocols."
The blog post also mentioned that stores will now have a single entrance, and Sam's Club associates will "politely" remind members "of our requirement to wear a face covering when shopping with us. Complimentary masks will be provided if the member doesnt have one. Or members can purchase masks in the club."
The company has already taken other measures to help protect public health, including using markers to indicate 6 feet of social distancing for customers and increasing sanitizing and cleaning efforts.
Cases of the coronavirus have increased across the country, with more than 3 million people in the United States infected by the virus, and nearly 140,000 people have died.

unfortunately for you I am neither fake nor going anywhere. But congrats on the snappy comeback. You have been hanging with Kozak and the other fearless too long
Why don't you explain it to me??
"Do you think it is for health reasons?
Actually, yes, I do.
" I guess I could use the mask if I thought it actually served public health...which I most certainly Do NOT!
Then you are simply ignorant. I've studied the science, and EVERY physician (or dentist) appointment I have had gives me exactly the same information about what works, and it matches what I learned, and what the authorities are saying.
"It is about public harassment & promotion of resentment among citizens.
For what POSSIBLE reason??
"I only wish the president would pass an executive order about using masks ONLY if the citizen wished to use one."
Because widespread mask use is REQUIRED to get maximum protection of the population. He would be massively irresponsible if he did.
WHAT, exactly, is it about wearing a mask that makes them so evil, to the point of total irrationality.
If you ARE a real physician, then you are completely lacking in professional ethics. EVERY one of my personal doctors (and my dentist) disagrees with you.
well I disagree with them as do most physicians I know. what of it? And you have no idea my professional ethics.
I’ll be impressed when Walmart requires butt cracks to be covered.
Well, I guess I’ll be going to my local grocery and the DG in town also. I’ll sure be saving on gas money now too. Not that I did a lot of shopping there anyway but they are now definitely NOT getting my business.
In our Walmart I always see this employee (male, I think) NEVER has his mask over his nose. NEVER! I have seen him like 10 times.
Well, we require our family to shop elsewhere.
Until Wally comes to his senses.
There is NO shortage of places to buy stuff.
Haha, I don’t know my Walmarts’ staff well enough, but I see about a third the same way, IF they are wearing a mask.
Fauci is a composite of Dr. Mengele and Leni Riefenstahl ...
I feel compelled to point out this exchange as a good example of why wearing a mask breeds contempt and resentment towards those who choose not to.
I’m searching for that news story about the person who wore a mask and avoided it while most everyone around them got it. There has to be at least one out there!
Start selling some that are made, inclusive of all materials, in America.
Sounds like leading up to mandatory vaccine bracelets to enter. So called “Expert” stated this morning he didn’t want the vaccine “politicized.”
Slippery slope to injections. “Vaccine” injections into the sacred body.
This is simply just bullshit.
Restricting a building that size to just one entrance may be a violation of FIRE CODES.
Will make last trip to wally-world on 19th and tell them it is my last. I do not subscribe to their panic.
Temperature outlook around here suppose to soar. People standing outside for inspection?
