WOONSOCKET, R.I., July 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Health (NYSE:
CVS) Chief Operating Officer Jon
Roberts provided the following update on the use of face
coverings at CVS Pharmacy locations:
"Since the pandemic began, we've done everything we can to keep
people safe and healthy. This includes requiring that store
employees wear face coverings and encouraging our customers to do
so as well. In any community with state or local laws mandating the
use of face coverings, we've made that very clear through signage
and other reminders.
"With the recent spike in COVID-19 infections, we're joining
others in taking the next step and requiring all customers to wear
face coverings when entering any of our stores throughout the
country effective Monday, July 20. To
be clear, we're not asking our store employees to play the role of
enforcer. What we are asking is that customers help protect
themselves and those around them by listening to the experts and
heeding the call to wear a face covering."
More information on steps CVS Health has taken to address the
COVID-19 pandemic is available at the company's frequently
updated COVID-19 resource center.
