Signs of Things Getting Back to Normal After a Year of COVID-19 Restrictions With the CDC lifting most mask mandates for all vaccinated people, things are starting to get back to a 2019 normal with theaters reopening and community events coming back. According to the Midland Reporter-Telegram, theaters will begin opening back up now and Regal Tall City Theatres will be reopening today. Other theaters in the Midland/Odessa area will also be reopening in the coming days but health and safety measures will still be in place at the theaters. Regal Tall City Theatres will require a face mask while in the lobby, auditoriums, and restrooms. Masks can be removed only while eating and drinking and Regal employees will be handing out masks to those who don't have one.
