McDonald’s on Friday announced it will require customers to wear masks inside all 14,000 of its restaurants across the United States, becoming the latest firm to make the requirement in recent days.
McDonald’s said in a news release it “will ask all customers to wear face coverings when entering our U.S. restaurants effective August 1,” noting that more than 1 million CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases have been recorded in the past two weeks. It said that about 82 percent of its restaurants are in states or locales that require face coverings for customers and workers.
