Amazon is ordering all employees to mask up at work

Staff at all warehouses across the United States will now have to wear a mask at work regardless of their vaccination status.

As the delta variant of COVID-19 sweeps across the country, many companies including Amazon are expressing concern.

The largest online retailer reimposed the mask mandate as a precaution and at the advice of the CDC.

“We hope this will only be required for a few weeks,” according to the notice, which was previously reported by Bloomberg. The new mask mandate applies to all U.S. Amazon sites, including where state and local guidance doesn’t require face masks.

Amazon had been relaxing some of its coronavirus safety measures

In May, the company told warehouse workers they would no longer be required to wear a mask indoors if they were fully vaccinated.

Last month, it began to wind down Covid testing in U.S. warehouses.

Amazon has also extended its work-from-home dates for U.S. employees until January 3.
