Walmart and Sam's Club will again require employees to wear masks regardless of vaccination status in COVID hot spots.

The nation's largest retailer announced Friday that stores and clubs will require masks for employees effective immediately.

"Customers are strongly encouraged to wear masks, but not required," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY. Walmart notes the mask requirement for employees is "not applicable in all stores. Managers will refer to the CDC site for updates relevant to their county each Monday."
