- The requirement will not apply to children who are younger than 2 years old, according to Costco.
- Individuals who can’t wear a mask or face covering because of their medical condition will not be required to wear a mask.
- Costco said: “The use of a mask or face covering should not be seen as a substitute for social distancing. Please continue to observe rules regarding appropriate distancing while on Costco premises.”
