July 15 (Reuters) - Shoppers at Walmart Inc stores will have to wear face coverings, the world's largest retailer said on Wednesday, mandating what is widely seen as an effective measure to control the spread of the new coronavirus.
   As coronavirus infections spike in many states across the country, face masks have become the leading recommendation from health experts and government officials looking to control the pandemic, while reopening the economy.
   Walmart said about 65% of its over 5,000 U.S. stores, including its wholesale Sam's Club outlets, are located in areas where there is already some form of government mandate on face coverings. Its new policy will apply to all stores starting Monday.
   Best Buy Co Inc also requires its customers to wear face coverings starting Wednesday, while AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc said in June its guests would have to wear face masks at its U.S. movie theaters, reversing a previous policy that had prompted harsh criticism.
   Walmart said employees stationed at the entrance of its own and Sam's Club stores will remind customers of its new policy.

7 月 15 日(路透社)-世界上最大的零售商週三表示,沃爾瑪公司(Walmart Inc.)商店的購物者將不得不佩戴面罩,要求普遍認為是控制新冠狀病毒傳播的有效措施。
隨著全國許多州的冠狀病毒感染激增,口罩已成為健康專家和政府官員在重新開放經濟的同時控制大流行的主要建議。
沃爾瑪表示,其超過 5,000 家美國商店中約有 65%,包括其批發山姆俱樂部商店,位於已經有某種形式的政府對面罩的任務的地區。新政策將從星期一開始適用於所有商店。
Best Buy Co Inc 還要求其客戶從周三開始佩戴面罩,而 AMC 娛樂控股有限公司在 6 月份表示,其客人將不得不在其美國電影院佩戴口罩,以扭轉先前引起嚴厲批評的政策。
沃爾瑪表示,員工駐紮在自己的入口處,山姆俱樂部門店將提醒客戶其新政策。
