WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Publix is beginning to look like it did before the coronavirus pandemic began.
"As a result of the decrease in COVID-19 cases and wide availability of vaccines, Publix is removing the clear plastic shields from registers, customer service desks and pharmacies," Lakeland-based company spokeswoman Maria Brous told WPTV on Monday.
She said the change took place last week, two years after the barriers were first installed.
Publix, which once had a mask mandate, no longer requires facial coverings for customers or employees, regardless of a person's vaccination status.
