Apple is dropping its mask requirements for corporate employees at “most locations,” according to The Verge. The article bases this on an internal email from the tech giant’s COVID response team.
According to The Verge, the email reads: Team,
We are writing to share an update to our current protocols. In light of current circumstances, wearing a face mask will no longer be required in most locations. As always, please check Welcome Forward regularly for specific requirements for your site, including those from local health authorities, or any site you may visit.
We recognize that everyone’s personal circumstances are different. Don’t hesitate to continue wearing a face mask if you feel more comfortable doing so. Also, please respect every individual’s decision to wear a mask or not.
Thank you for all that you do to support Apple’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Apple started requiring some employees to return to its corporate offices in April. However, it stopped short of implementing its full hybrid model, which would mandate three days of in-person work for all employees, every week.
