Walmart starts requiring customers to wear masks

(UNDATED) — Walmart is the latest national chain of stores to require its customers to wear masks or facial coverings in-store. The change will begin next week.

Starbucks and Best Buy announced that their stores will require masks be worn beginning Wednesday, July 15.

Costco started requiring customers to wear masks back in May.

There is currently no federal mandate to wear facial coverings, but the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has said everyone “should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public.”
