VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Costco announced that beginning May 4th members/employees will be required to wear a face-covering, the senior special operating hour is now available five days a week, and most locations will return to regular (pre-COVID-19) operating hours.

“To protect our members and employees, all Costco members and guests must wear a face covering that covers their mouth and nose at all times while at Costco,” stated Costco officials.

The requirement does not apply to children under the age of 2 or to individuals who are unable to wear a face-covering due to a medical condition.

“The use of a face-covering should not be seen as a substitute for social distancing. Please continue to observe rules regarding appropriate distancing while on Costco premises,” stated a Costsco news release.
