Target will no longer require employees or customers to wear face masks as Covid-19 cases continue to fall across the United States.
According to a press release, "Target will not require our U.S. team members or guests to wear masks, as local regulations allow. We’ll follow all state and local COVID-19 safety regulations and encourage our team members and guests to consult the latest public health guidance, get vaccinated and make decisions to keep themselves and their families safe."
In August 2021, the company said they would require masks for employees and highly recommended face coverings for customers in areas with high rates of COVID-19 infections.

Target has also stressed its efforts throughout the pandemic.
“The health and safety of our guests and team members have been Target’s top priority throughout the pandemic,” the company said.
The company has also said that it will follow all local mandates, as they have throughout the pandemic, and monitor guidance from the CDC closely.
“We will also maintain all of our health and safety protocols that include increased cleaning measures and social distancing,” the company said.
Despite the return of masks in some areas back in summer 2021, Target continued to encourage its customers to get the coronavirus vaccine and offered ways to do so at its stores.

“We encourage our team members and guests to get the COVID-19 vaccine by offering vaccine appointments at nearly all CVS at Target locations and providing paid time, and free Lyft rides to team members when they get their vaccines,” the company said.
