WASHINGTON (Reuters) – General Motors Co (NYSE:GM), Ford Motor (NYSE:F) Co and Chrysler parent Stellantis NV said on Tuesday they are making masking optional at all U.S. facilities.
In mid-May, the Detroit Three automakers and the United Auto Workers — which have a COVID-19 joint task force — reinstated a requirement that employees wear masks in southeastern Michigan where there are high levels of COVID-19. The task force said on Tuesday if a facility is in a high-risk county as identified by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) it “strongly recommends masking” but they will not be required.
