Walmart says vaccinated customers and members are welcome to shop without a mask. — Reuters picWASHINGTON, May 15 ― US retail giant Walmart yesterday said customers who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 no longer have to wear masks in their stores, and staff can do the same starting next week.
Employees who are more than two weeks past their vaccination can stop wearing masks from May 18, the company said, and all employees are eligible for a US$75 bonus if they prove they have got their jab. The announcement follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's lifting on Thursday of mask-wearing guidance for people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, a decision that came over a year after it was first issued at the beginning of the pandemic that has killed more than 585,000 people in the United States.
