Costco Set to Require Masks for Entry, Including those with Medical Conditions

by ECT

This week, Costco announced it would require all members, guests and employees to wear a face mask or face shield at Costco locations.

This is a reversal from its May 4 policy.

Dear Costco Member,

Effective Nov. 16, 2020, we will require all members, guests and employees to wear a face mask or face shield at Costco locations. Entry to Costco will only be granted to those wearing a face mask or face shield. Children under the age of 2 are exempt.

Costco has had a face mask policy in effect since May 4, 2020, but members who could not wear a mask due to a medical condition were exempt. This is no longer the case. If a member has a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask, they must wear a face shield at Costco.

This updated policy may seem inconvenient to some, however we believe the added safety is worth any inconvenience. Our goal is to continue to provide a safe shopping environment for our members and guests, and to provide a safe work environment for our employees.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Craig Jelinek
President and CEO
Costco Wholesale

It’s a great idea to require masks in this environment by storekeepers. Common sense is should be for everyone.

If the masks work so well then why the big increase in cases? And if they work then why shut things down, release convicts, further destroy the economy?

If you are scared, then dont go out. People should be allowed to manage their own risk.

I will not be spending my money at Costco, to force you to wear a mask is wrong, and is a personal choice and for your action to force people against their will to do this is shameful and I would hope people will as I am stop shopping at Costco
