Walmart drops mask requirement for vaccinated workers

Walmart employees in the U.S. who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will no longer be required to wear masks.

“Unvaccinated associates will be required to continue wearing masks until further notice,” company officials said in a memo obtained by ABC News.

Friday’s policy update was effective immediately for most employees, aside from those working in regions where state or local rules require retail staff to wear masks, the memo said. Associates working in clinical settings or with patients will also still be required to wear masks.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and advise of any changes,” the memo said.

The company, the largest private retail employer in the U.S., will also end its COVID-19 emergency leave policy for most employees at the end of March, the memo said.
