Beginning Nov. 16, Costco will require all members, guests and employees to wear a face mask or face shield at Costco locations, even if they have a medical condition.
Children under the age of 2 will be the only exception to the rule.
Costco has had a face mask policy in effect since May 4, 2020, but members who could not wear a mask due to a medical condition were exempt. If a member has a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask, they must wear a face shield at Costco.
“This updated policy may seem inconvenient to some, however we believe the added safety is worth any inconvenience,” said Costco Wholesale President and CEO Craig Jelinek. “Our goal is to continue to provide a safe shopping environment for our members and guests, and to provide a safe work environment for our employees.”
