RELATED: Target Just Banned the Purchase of This One Thing at All Its Stores. If you miss trying on clothes in-store, have no fear. Target confirmed to USA Today that its fittings rooms in all stores nationwide would be reopening as of June 1. In fact, some dressing rooms were already reopened at the start of the Memorial Day weekend. “Fitting rooms are open at all Target stores,” the company states on its website. “We’ll continue to frequently disinfect and clean our stores throughout the day, as we have throughout the pandemic, and have team members dedicated to high touch areas like fitting rooms.“ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb Target spokesperson Brian Harper-Tibaldo told USA Today that there was one exception to this reopening: A few fitting rooms will remain closed because they are being used for vaccinations. Target announced in March 2021 that it had partnered with more than 600 CVS locations to offer vaccines within Target stores. Through this partnership, the company allocated fitting rooms to CVS at select Target stores to host appointments. RELATED: For more up-to-date information, sign up for our daily newsletter. It’s been more than a year since Target closed its fitting rooms to help mitigate the spread of COVID, like so many other retailers. According to a document released by the corporation in May 2020, Target fitting rooms were closed to the public and stores were required to post signs indicating the closure, as well as blocking the entrance to fitting rooms. The only exception was that customers were still allowed to use fitting rooms for nursing, if they requested to do so. This is not the first COVID-related restriction Target has reversed recently. On May 18, CNN confirmed that the company would no longer be requiring that fully vaccinated shoppers or workers wear masks within stores. The company now also says it is only “strongly recommended” that unvaccinated individuals wear face coverings. This decision came after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said fully vaccinated individuals could stop wearing masks in most situations. “Target no longer requires fully vaccinated guests and team members to wear face coverings in our stores, except where it’s required by local ordinances,” the company states on its website. “Face coverings continue to be strongly recommended for guests and team members who are not fully vaccinated and we continue our increased safety and cleaning measures, including social distancing, throughout our stores.” RELATED: If You Take Medication for This, You May Still Need a Mask, CDC Says.
