Masks or face coverings will be mandatory at all of Walmart Canada’s stores starting next week on Wednesday, August 12.

Walmart says it doesn’t matter what the local government has mandated, masks will be required.

The company is asking customers to bring their own masks when in the store.

Other safety measures such as increased cleaning, wellness checks for staff, customer limits, plexiglass dividers, and one-way floor markings are already implemented to keep staff and customers as safe as possible.
