TORONTO —Heads up for those of you who like to hit the ‘Bucks for your morning cup of Joe, if you’re heading inside, you’ll be required to wear a mask.

Starbucks Canada says the rule will come into effect at all of its company-owned cafes in Canada on Sept. 14 —yes that means us in PG too.

Starbucks says the policy is aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19. Customers who arrive at a Starbucks without a mask will have the option to use the drive-thru, order curbside pickup using the company’s app or seek delivery.

Starbucks previously started asking all of its employees to complete a pre-check before their shift that included taking their temperature, putting on a mask and washing their hands.

The company also upped its store cleanings to ensure surfaces that are touched often are sanitized frequently.
