Half of state mask mandates have ended in the past 3 weeks

Few mask restrictions remain. On Jan. 28, 12 states required masks in some or all settings, but as of Tuesday only five, plus Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., still have any restrictions in place. Of these states, several have announced plans to lift them by the end of February or beginning of March.

The end of restrictions comes with some caveats. For example, in New York, masks must still be worn in public transportation, nursing homes, correctional facilities and homeless shelters.
