Some NYC grocery stores, including Trader Joe’s and Morton Williams, are easing up on mask requirements this week in the wake of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement that New York moved ahead to adopt the relaxed mask guidelines recently issued by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The move has sparked controversy among some New Yorkers who are clashing on whether to keep wearing masks without government regulations in place.
At Trader Joe’s, fully vaccinated customers will no longer be required to wear masks, in accordance with the new guidance that the CDC announced last week. However, employees won’t ask for proof of vaccination among maskless customers; instead, the company is implementing an honor system and hoping that unvaccinated customers will still wear masks. Workers will still be required to wear masks for the duration of their shifts.
