Mass. health officials defend decision to lift mask mandate for medical settings

Maura Healey’s administration is standing by its decision to lift the state’s mask mandate for medical settings next month, despite calls from some health professionals to keep the COVID policy in place indefinitely. The requirement — which applies everywhere from big hospitals to small dentist offices — is set to expire with the state’s COVID public health emergency on May 11.
