Target no longer requires employees and customers to wear face masks inside its stores, citing declining COVID-19 infection cases across the country.
Before this week, Target required masks for employees and recommended masks for customers in areas with high infection rates. But as of Monday, Target updated its policy to longer require anyone in its stores to wear masks unless mandated by local rules.
It is the first time Target has done away with masks regardless of whether people are vaccinated or not since it first started requiring them in 2020.
