Apple no longer requires US employees to wear masks

Apple has made the decision to no longer require the wearing of masks for its employees in the United States, whether those in stores or those in other sectors, according to Bloomberg. This follows the drop in the number of cases for Covid-19 and local laws.

Change for masks at Apple

Apple informed its employees that masks for vaccinated people are now optional in offices in states where local mandates for indoor masks have been removed. The company also informed Apple Store staff that masks for employees will be optional starting Friday. Over time (as regions drop their rules and cases drop), masks will become optional for employees in more shops.

This change comes a week after the change for customers. For the past few days, customers have been able to go to an American Apple Store without having a mask. Even so, Apple still recommends that they wear one, but it’s no longer a requirement. Now history will repeat itself, but for the employees.

In France, the date to remember is March 14. In 11 days, wearing a mask will no longer be compulsory in many places and the vaccination pass will be suspended.
