GOVERNOR BRYAN DROPS INDOOR MASK REQUIREMENT EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

CHRISTIANSTED — During the Government House weekly press briefing today, Governor Albert Bryan dropped the indoor mask mandate — effective immediately — no longer requiring face coverings indoors.

There are a few notable exceptions such as: indoor and outdoor areas at ports of entry; indoor and outdoor areas at public, private and parochial schools and at all hospitals, nursing homes and healthcare facilities.

Although masks are no longer required to be worn at any other establishments, business-owners can choose at their own discretion whether or not they want to require that customers and staff wear masks.

Two weeks ago, Governor Bryan eased the mask mandate protocol when he rescinded the requirements for mask use outdoors, except for the areas mentioned above.
