Publix has announced they will require customers to wear face coverings while shopping in all stores effective July 21.

Signs announcing the new requirement will be posted at store entrances, and in-store announcements will be made. This requirement will not apply to young children and those with medical conditions who are not able to wear face coverings.

“With the number of coronavirus cases continuing to grow and current CDC guidance indicating face coverings can help slow the spread of COVID-19, we believe requiring face coverings in our stores is another way we can do our part to help protect our communities,” said Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous.

Publix encourages those who are not able to wear face coverings to consider using Publix Delivery and/or Curbside Pickup.

Back in April, Publix had announced they would require employees to wear masks or other face coverings at work.

The nation’s largest retailer, Walmart, announced this week that masks would be mandatory in all stores starting Monday. Target, CVS, Starbucks, Best Buy, and Kohl’s also have put mandatory face shield rules in place.

Let’s work together to help limit the spread of COVID-19

Beginning July 21, customers are required to use face coverings over their noses and mouths while inside any Publix store. This new mandate is encouraged by the CDC for most individuals. Thank you for doing your part to limit the spread of COVID-19.

The CDC also recommends we keep our distance to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Publix has put into place new measures to help our customers maintain social distancing with other customers and our associates. Our aisles are now one-way to reduce your chances of passing another shopper. We’ve marked off 6-foot increments at checkout. And finally, our managers have discretion to limit the number of shoppers in the store at one time. There is one more thing you can do to help: Please shop alone, if you can. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding to help us all achieve the important goal of social distancing.

I am really glad to see the people (retailers) that can mandate this are doing so. It gets dicey when government tries it but businesses have every right to say what happens on their property. Kudos to those doing it.
