As of August 12, 2020, wearing a face mask in a Walmart store in Canada will be mandatory.
With no end in site for the coronavirus pandemic, Walmart Canada announced that they will be making the wearing of face masks or coverings mandatory in all stores nationwide.
One key thing to note here is that unlike Costco, Walmart will not be supplying free masks to its shoppers. Customers must bring their own masks or face coverings if they wish to enter the store.
There will be a lot of consumers who will be turned away from Walmart, and we will have to wait and see if this affects their bottom line.
