With the city and surrounding areas considered at high risk for the transmission of COVID-19, Jewel-Osco is now asking employees to wear masks.

“Jewel-Osco continues to follow the guidelines set by the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and Illinois Department of Public Health. Due to current high COVID transmission rates in the counties where we have stores, the distribution center, and the corporate office, we are requesting that associates wear a mask,” Jewel-Osco spokeswoman Mary Frances Trucco said in a statement Thursday.
