McDonald’s reports that consumers would be required to wear face coverings before visiting their restaurants in U.S. as the number of new coronavirus cases keeps going up in many states.
The McDonald ‘s Corp. follows a string of businesses enforcing mask requirements for its clients over the last week or so, including Walmart , Target, and Kohl’s.
Recently Starbucks has also imposed a mask mandate to customers visiting its U.S. company locations.
McDonald’s, located in Chicago, said 82% of its restaurants are in states or communities where both employees and consumers require facial covering.
From a joint statement by McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger and Mark Salebra, chair of the National Franchise Leadership Alliance, stated that, “important we protect the safety of all employees and customers.”
They even said in situations where consumers refuse to wear masks,it should “put in place additional procedures to take care of them in a friendly, expedited way.”
McDonald ‘s announced it will postpone the re-opening of its dining rooms for another 30 days. This also incorporates security panels to promote social distance in the back and front of the restaurant.
