And Massachusetts recently lifted a $500 fine on travelers who refused to quarantine after coming to the state. But a WBUR review found that the state's mask and travel orders were rarely enforced. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health said it didn't fine a single person for violating the travel ban while it was in effect from August to late March.
