May 18, 2021 Austin-Travis County Public Health is loosening mask rules a bit. The health authority announced today those who are fully vaccinated against coronavirus do not have to have their faces covered indoors if there's less than 500 people inside a building. Masks are still required at outdoor events with more than 2,500 people in attendance. Interim Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott is hoping businesses will still require face coverings through at least mid-June. Photo: Getty Images
