Walmart and Publix reinstating mask requirements for employees
Walmart has announced that workers will be required to wear masks in areas where there are high infection rates in the United States. Workers at Walmart stores in The Villages were wearing masks on Friday.
Sam’s Club is also included in the employee mask mandate.
In addition, Walmart announced that all of its corporate employees in the United States must be vaccinated no later than Oct. 4. The vaccine mandate excludes front-line workers.
Meanwhile, the Publix grocery store chain is re-instating its mask mandate for employees, regardless of their vaccination status. The Publix mask mandate for employees begins Monday, although many already have been wearing masks.
Disney announced Friday that vaccines will be required for its salaried and non-union hourly employees. They will have 60 days to get vaccinated. Newly hired Disney employees will have to provide proof of vaccination before they can begin their new jobs.
“Vaccines are the best tool we all have to help control this global pandemic and protect our employees,” Disney said in a statement.
Walmart, Publix and Disney rank among the largest employers in Florida.

In quantum physics, one breakthrough can quickly lead to several more.
This could happen in the wake of a brand new particle recently discovered by a group of scientists during the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment, called Tcc+ and dubbed a tetraquark, according to a recent presentation at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP). The new particle is an exotic hadron comprised of two quarks and two antiquarks.
Crucially, this exotic matter particle lives longer than any other ever discovered, in addition to containing two heavy quarks and two light antiquarks, in another first.
CERN physicists discover the 'open charm' of a 'super' exotic hadron
All matter is comprised of fundamental building blocks, called quarks, which can fuse to form hadrons, including baryons, like the neutron and proton of conventional atomic theory. These contain three quarks, in addition to mesons, which come into being as quark-antiquark pairs. In the last several years, numerous "exotic" hadrons, particles dubbed as such because they possess four or five quarks (instead of two or three, which is more normal), were discovered. But the recent study has revealed the existence of an especially distinguished exotic hadron, or super-exotic hadron, if you can believe it.
The Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment focuses on analyzing the subtle differences between matter and antimatter, and involves the study of a specific kind of matter called the "beauty quark", or "b quark".
