McDonald's has announced that it is now requiring masks for everyone entering its restaurants.
According to the story from Reuters, the requirement will be enforced in its domestic restaurants in parts of the country with areas of "substantial transmission" of the coronavirus.
Until today, all McDonald's employees were required to wear masks, and anyone entering its restaurants who were not vaccinated was asked to mask up as well. From today forward, everyone must be masked.
Why is McDonald's having to bring back its mask mandate? I would guess that it's because of the coronavirus: Delta variant.
The Delta variant of the coronavirus is beginning to wreak havoc on health care systems in several cities in Louisiana. Governor John Bel Edwards, in today's press conference, announced a mask mandate for the state of Louisiana which requires everyone above the age of 5 to be masked when indoors.
