Monday marks a big change for mask wearing in Maine: face coverings are no longer required in outdoor public spaces.
Maine had already lifted its blanket outdoor mask mandate but now, people in the state don't have to wear a mask in other places outdoors, like restaurant patios and takeout lines, unless it's required by the facility’s operator.
Maine’s indoor mask mandate was also lifted on Monday for people who are vaccinated, though they will be required for everyone in certain settings, like schools and public transit. And all capacity limits were removed in public settings, whether indoors or outdoors.
