Walmart will require customers to wear masks in every one of its stores in the United States in the midst of the CCP virus pandemic, following similar decisions made by Costco, Starbucks, and Best Buy in recent days.

Walmart CEO Dacona Smith said that the measure will go into effect starting July 20, saying that employees will be placed near store entrances to “remind those without a mask of the new requirements.”
