OPERATIONAL CHANGES & SAFETY MEASURES
Safety in Our Stores – Maintaining clean, safe stores has always been one of our top priorities. Now, our associates are even more committed to keeping stores clean while our stores are open. We are also taking extra steps – we sanitize and disinfect shelves, checkout areas, service desks, storage lockers and restrooms on a regular basis. We have also installed plexiglass shields at checkout and service desks throughout our stores and continue to provide non-medical face coverings and gloves to our associates.
Throughout this pandemic, our focus is on the health and safety of our associates and customers, and we continue to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Following the CDC’s recent announcements, customers and associates who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear masks or facial coverings in The Home Depot stores, except where it’s mandated by state or local ordinances. Masks are still encouraged for those who aren’t fully vaccinated, and we’ll keep safety measures in place like enhanced cleaning and social distancing.
