Florida is one of the hardest-hit states in the U.S. coronavirus outbreak, recently surpassing 338,000 cases.
1 / 2Winn-Dixie, a popular supermarket chain in the South, is facing backlash after it announced that, unlike several of its competitors, it will not require customers to wear face masks inside its stores.
The news follows numerous reports of altercations over face-mask regulations between customers and employees at stores across the country. Still, Winn-Dixie's stance differs from other grocery giants. Both Publix and Southeastern Grocers are headquartered in Florida, one of the hardest-hit states in the U.S. coronavirus outbreak. Florida hospitals are currently facing a shortage of beds in intensive care units, and total cases in the state recently surpassed 338,000. Florida is one of three states, including Texas and California, that account for one-fifth of the world's new coronavirus cases.
