Target drops mask requirement for fully vaccinated guests

The Target Corporation announced Monday they have dropped the mask requirement in their stores, except locations where there are local ordinances requiring face coverings.

Target released the following statement:

The health and safety of our guests and team members have been Target’s top priority throughout the pandemic, and we’ve closely and consistently followed the CDC’s recommendations over time.

Given the CDC’s updated guidance last week, Target will no longer require fully vaccinated guests and team members to wear face coverings in our stores, except where it’s required by local ordinances.

Face coverings will continue to be strongly recommended for guests and team members who are not fully vaccinated and we’ll continue our increased safety and cleaning measures, including social distancing, throughout our stores.

Target is offering COVID-19 vaccine appointments at nearly all CVS at Target locations for guests and team members.
