As more and more people flock to Costco to stock up during this period of self isolation, the national warehouse club has been having to update their policies pretty frequently to ensure the safety of all its members and guests. The latest in these policies is a new requirement that everyone looking to enter their warehouse will be required to wear a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Effective May 4, the company announced that all Costco members and guests will have to wear a mask or face covering that covers the mouth and nose at all times while inside their warehouses.
The only exceptions will be children under the age of two or individuals who can't wear a face covering because of an existing medical condition.
Costco also stresses that this policy is definitely not a substitute for social distancing (which should always be practiced throughout this pandemic). Looks like if you're planning to go to Costco next week, you better have a mask ready. Otherwise you'll be waiting in that long line for nothing.
