The popular burger chain In-N-Out announced they will ban employees from wearing masks, unless a doctor's note is provided, in five states starting Aug. 14.
It is not the first time that the chain, based in California, has clashed with health experts over safety measures that were first put into place as deaths from COVID-19 skyrocketed during the pandemic. In October 2021, several In-N-Out locations in California faced fines or were temporarily closed because the burger chain refused to enforce COVID-19 vaccination rules.
The new guidelines are facing pushback from public health officials like infectious disease specialist Dr. Judy Stone. Stone also pointed to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — which notes that 6 in 10 adults have a chronic disease, increasing their risk for severe COVID-19.
