After previously discouraging workers from wearing masks at
work, McDonald's is working to source masks for certain employees.
David Tovar, the vice president of US communications at
McDonald's, told Business Insider that while the company wants N95 masks to
reach healthcare workers, it is working to secure other types of masks for
employees at the fast-food chain.
"The CDC guidelines ... are saying that they are not
preventative in terms of a COVID-19," Tovar said. "But we also know
that there is a comfort that it provides ... to employees and to customers. So
we want to try and accommodate them if possible."
Tovar said that once there is supply, it will be focused on
hot spots such as New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco. The masks will
become available to other locations as needed.
As the fast-food giant works to obtain masks amid a global
shortage, Tovar says McDonald's will work on a case-by-case basis to determine
whether employees can wear homemade masks to work.
Employees will now be able to wear gloves if it makes them
more comfortable at work, as McDonald's has a significant supply. However,
Tovar says it will be emphasized that wearing gloves will not replace hand
washing and other safety measures.
