According to the Washington Post, Walmart will no longer require fully vaccinated workers to wear masks while working in stores unless required under local or state rules, the company said in a memo to its U.S. employees.

Questions:

  1. How many employees does this change affect?
  2. Will all vaccinated Walmart employees be allowed to drop the requirement?
  3. Has Walmart required masks since 2020?
  4. How does this change affect Walmart’s sister company, Sam’s Club?
