Wegmans CEO Colleen Wegman says the company has secured a supply of face masks, and will distribute them to store employees to help protect themselves from the coronavirus.
Wegman says via a letter to employees that the masks should be arriving at stores in the next few days. She says they're following the new CDC guidance which advocates wearing masks in public.
Wegmans' previous policy was to let workers wear their own masks, and there were reports from some employees that they were told not to wear them.
