Like the rest of us, Utah’s Hogle Zoo is clawing its way out of the pandemic, looking forward to a not-too-far-off future that will be filled with crowds at full capacity, no one wearing masks, good old boring normalcy and hopefully the PTSD won’t be too bad.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah will become the latest state to lift its mask mandate on Saturday, the deadline set by a new state law, but the capital city and many businesses will continue requiring masks amid concern about communities still vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic.
Utah will be joining at least 10 other states that have lifted statewide mask orders, including Montana, Wyoming and Texas. In Utah, masks will still be required for schools and gatherings of more than 50 people, and businesses can still choose to require them.
Salt Lake City International Airport, the Utah Transit Authority and the Hogle Zoo are among those that have said they will keep requiring masks and other safety measures during the coronavirus pandemic.
