Amazon will no longer require its US warehouse employees to wear face masks in states where local laws do not require them, regardless of whether the employees are vaccinated or not.
The company informed workers of the updated policy over the weekend, according to an internal memo viewed by CNN Business. The change takes effect March 1.
In the memo, Amazon (AMZN) called the announcement an "exciting step in our path to normal operations." The company said the change comes in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's updated guidance that most people in the United States live in areas where they don't need to wear masks indoors, if they're healthy.
