FazzNoth Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention modified its guidance on covering one's face a few months ago, advising vaccinated people in areas of significant or high transmission risk to return to wearing facemasks in enclosed public places. However, even with federal guidance, the recommendations recognize that state and local governments have the final say when it comes to facemask mandates, and those mandates differ across the country. Many governors have changed their previous stance on facemasks as COVID-19 cases, increasing facemask use regardless of state mandate. According to Vanderbilt University's Department, the COVID-19 death tolls were twice as high in Tennessee counties without mask mandates as compared to counties with directives in place. Gov. Bill Lee has not initiated a mask mandate in the state, deferring to local leaders. Some states require face covering in all indoor spaces, while others provide detailed instructions on where masks should be worn. According to CDC and other state guidance, In all states with decrees, children under 2 years of age should not wear a facemask, but other age restrictions vary. Which states have made it mandatory to wear masks indoors? Three states have mandated the wearing of face masks indoors. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington require most people to wear face coverings in enclosed public places, regardless of whether or not they have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Puerto Rico has a similar order in place. Most states and local governments that extended or reimposed facemask orders during last summer's delta variant surge and the emergence of the omicron variant in late 2021 have relaxed or eliminated those rules as the omicron surge subsides.

The federal government continues to require face covering on public transportation and in indoor areas of transit hubs, such as airports and bus and train stations, at least through March 18. To date, 36 states that at some point in the pandemic had orders broadly requiring residents to wear face masks in public have lifted them. Eleven states have not imposed mandates at any time, and some, such as Florida, Iowa, Montana, Tennessee and Texas, have taken legislative or executive action to prevent local governments and school districts from doing so.
