Mask Mandate No More For Fully Vaccinated People In Connecticut: ‘It’s Such A Relief… We’ve All Been Waiting For This’ CBS New York 1 hr ago Syndicated Local – CBS New York STAMFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork) — The mask mandate has now been lifted for fully vaccinated people in New York and Connecticut, but not New Jersey. The move in Connecticut comes after updated CDC guidance and progress versus the pandemic. As CBS2’s Tony Aiello reports, for the first time in 394 days, masks are optional at Connecticut Stew Leonard’s stores for fully vaccinated customers. “I know today is the day! And Stew Leonard is number one to give it up,” said shopper Betty Mansy.
