The temperature checks and reviewing video are new, but they've been saying they will provide masks for a while but have been running into shortages actually procuring them.

If we assume most transmission is asymptomatic, this is largely a PR move that buys Amazon some time, but doesn't change much, except maybe the price they're willing to pay for masks.
