  • Unvaccinated people over age 11 are encouraged to continue wearing masks in all public indoor spaces.
  • People who do not have to wear a mask, even if unvaccinated, include:
  • People who are 10 years old and younger.
  • People who cannot medically tolerate a face covering.
  • Children younger than 2 years old should NOT wear masks.
