Milan – Following guidance and directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) asking Americans to take more precautions to protect themselves against the Coronavirus, Starbucks store employees in the US have been required since Tuesday to wear face masks while at work.
In a statement Starbucks said they’ve provided employees with a tutorial to make their own non-medical facial covering with supplies available in stores, if employees don’t have one of their own.
The company also said they are planning to source face masks as well as thermometers so that employees can opt to have their temperature taken.
“Our goal remains to continue exceeding all health expert recommendations in order to make sure partners feel supported with the best science and facts available to us,” the company said in an email.
Starbucks is open only for drive-through and delivery in the U.S. and Canada.
