The Big 3 of the Home Improvement stores, Menards, Home Depot, and Lowe's have all announced face masks will be required at their stores.

The majority (if not all) of these stores have not said how long the mandate will last. That will depend on whether or not the infection rate continues to climb, or goes down nationwide in the coming weeks.
