Whole Foods shoppers will be offered free face masks in Atlanta and other cities, parent company Amazon announced recently. The masks are expected to be available in the coming days.

“If customers don’t already have their own face covering, they will be able to pick up a mask at the entrance of the Whole Foods Market store,” the company said in a blog post.

Whole Foods said the stores are taking additional measures to keep customers safe, including increasing hand sanitizer, thermal cameras, thermometers, sanitizing wipes, gloves and additional handwashing stations.

The company is also committed to adding disinfectant spraying in buildings, procuring COVID testing supplies, and boosting its janitorial services.

Whole Foods is just one of many stores that are catering to the nation’s most vulnerable populations. These states are the ones with “Senior Hours“ locally.

Atlanta is the site of the largest Whole Foods in the nation, which opened in April 2019.
