“As an essential service provider at this time, masks and gloves are just another safeguard we’ve implemented across our company to protect the health and safety of our Partners, customers and communities,” H-E-B Chief Operating Officer Martin Otto said. “We are here for all Texans and we take our role to protect public safety seriously.”
All H-E-B employees must continue to follow strict hygiene and sanitation measures and proper social distancing protocols. If masks are worn, they must be kept clean and those who wear gloves must continue to frequently wash their hands and apply hand sanitizer.
