The flexible stance for a sector of the population to stop using face masks has caused divided opinions between consumers and those who provide services. Many are in favor of the measure, especially for those who are already inoculated .

Despite the fact that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has already given the green light for the social distancing measures, as well as the use of masks to be less strict, the sanitary posture has confused both the business sectors and the Americans in general .

.

Following the decision made by the authorities, companies such as Home Depot and Target announced earlier this week that they will be more flexible with their policies. Yesterday, the chain of coffee shops Starbucks, joined this position , by same as Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Publix and BJ’s Wholesale Club.

Although the companies have stated in a generalized way that they will respect the official provisions in all their establishments, it has not been explained how it will be determined that people who enter without a mask are actually vaccinated. This uncertainty has generated annoyance among consumers and employees .

One of the limitations that several companies have to implement the new provisions, has to do with state mandates, so That will depend directly on what the governors decide, however it is expected that they will give authorization to these new measures, since they want free movement to be given to accelerate the reactivation of local economies .

In an interview with Real America News, the host of Radio and Television , Claudia González “La Coqueta”, a resident of Dallas, Texas, was dissatisfied with the measure that the CDC is implementing, since since her optics “is incongruous, since people who have already been vaccinated are being rewarded by telling them not to use face masks indoors and outdoors.”

González added that he does not believe that there is a new normal as many believe that it could occur, since “the pandemic affected us in many ways, I think that after seeing the large number of deaths, the least we can do is continue taking care of ourselves ”.

The driver even explained that the use of face masks go beyond just protecting us from Covid – 19, as he explained that the use of this protection It allows users to protect themselves from other respiratory diseases, “every year I got sick with the flu, in the year of the pandemic I didn’t get sick and it seems like a great reason to wear a mask.”

Regardless of discontent and what they may say who do not agree with the new provisions , some spokespersons for the different companies who plan to join the authorized measures po The government has made it clear that they will have lax measures for those who visit their establishments.

This makes sense with the public positioning given by Home Depot, whose spokesperson, Sara Gorman noted that customers “are not required to wear masks in stores, except when required by state or local ordinances.” This statement came days after the CDC authorized the new measures.
