Ford Motor Co. is reinstating mask requirements for some workers to slow an aggressive new strain of the coronavirus, telling employees Tuesday that it’s mandating face coverings at facilities in Missouri and Florida.
The company also is ordering US employees planning international business travel to be vaccinated against COVID-19, Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford said in an emailed statement. The move comes after General Motors Co. reinstated a mask mandate at a Missouri factory last week and as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reverted to tighter mask guidelines.
Detroit automakers and the United Auto Workers union eliminated mask mandates on July 12, as vaccinations became more widespread. But as the delta variant of the virus spreads, US health officials, including Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, have advised a return to mask wearing for vaccinated individuals in some public indoor settings.
