https://www.afinalwarning.com/500979.html (Natural News) A number of establishments in Texas said they will keep making masks mandatory in their premises. Their statements came amid Gov. Greg Abbott’s announcement that he will lift all previously ordered COVID-19 restrictions. His decision to “open Texas 100 percent” received mixed reactions from the business community. Some welcomed the lifting, while some expressed concern that businesses will experience more difficulty in enforcing safety protocols.
Hyatt Hotels, Target, Starbucks and CVS Health were among the companies who announced continued mask mandates in their establishments. A CVS spokesman said the drugstore chain will continue to mandate masks in adherence to federal health guidelines. Drugstore employees are instructed to avoid confrontation with mask-less customers and try to serve them as quickly as possible, he added.
