The media learned about the abolition of the mask regime for those vaccinated in

Apple intends to remove the requirement to wear masks for customers vaccinated against covid-19 in the territory of many of its stores in the United States, BLOOMBERG writes, citing sources.

The measure is expected to take effect on Tuesday. Apple has already begun sending notifications to store employees. They also will not be required to ask buyers to confirm the fact of vaccination. The requirement to wear masks will also be lifted at some Apple locations. At the same time, store employees will still have to wear masks, the agency reports.

The memo, which was sent to employees, said that the changes are related to the progress in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic that has been made in the United States. Therefore, some Apple points of sale are moving to the third phase of the protocol adopted by the company during the pandemic. In addition to easing the mask regime at this stage, the requirements for maintaining social distance are also reduced, Bloomberg clarifies.

Last week in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) allowed those who received a full course of vaccination against CORONAVIRUS not to wear masks in outdoor transportation areas. These include street stops and seating on ferries, buses or trams.
