Target drops mask requirement for vaccinated people, joining other major retailers

Target joined a growing list of major retailers on Monday announcing that fully vaccinated guests and staff can go maskless in stores following new federal guidelines last week that vaccinated people can ditch face coverings.

“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,” the company announced Monday. “Face coverings will continue to be strongly recommended for guests and team members who are not fully vaccinated.”
