This was a funny one, too. Where you tell us that Publix will stay with mask mandates. Haven't worn a mask in a Publix in two weeks now.
Are you vaccinated? Let's take a look at the official Publix policy for masks.
What is Publix’s mask policy?
In accordance with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, face coverings are optional for fully vaccinated individuals inside Publix stores unless required by a state or local order or ordinance. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are required to use face coverings over their noses and mouths while inside any Publix store.
