Vermont to end mask mandate for the fully vaccinated WILSON RING, Associated Press FacebookTwitterEmail Vermont will comply with new federal guidance and eliminate the mask mandate for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, Gov. Phil Scott said Friday. Complying with that guidance, which says those who have not been vaccinated or those whose vaccination is not yet complete should to continue to wear masks, will be done on the honor system, Scott said during his regular virus briefing. Scott is also moving up the state’s reopening plans by two weeks. Effective Friday, there will no longer be a testing requirement for travel, and capacity limits will increase for both indoor and outdoor gatherings.
