For the last seven months, Yosemite National Park has encouraged, but not required, that visitors wear masks. Even when they were indoors. Even when hundreds attended a Thanksgiving dinner at the Ahwahnee hotel.
That is now a thing of the past. As one of his first actions on Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed a federal mandate requiring face coverings inside federal buildings and on land controlled by the federal government.
