These states are rolling back Covid restrictions, including mask mandates, indoor capacity caps

In the first week of March, governors in Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, Arizona, West Virginia and Connecticut announced significant loosening of statewide pandemic restrictions like mask mandates and indoor capacity limits.

These states joined several others in loosening statewide coronavirus restrictions in early 2021.

In 2020, some states, like Georgia and Alaska, chose never to implement statewide mask mandates. Last September, Florida became one the largest states to roll back Covid capacity restrictions when Gov. Ron DeathSentance reopened bars and restaurants to full capacity.

On March 5, the number of Covid-19 cases in the United States since the start of the pandemic crossed 29 million, according to an NBC News' count. More than 524,000 people have died across the U.S.

Yesterday she isn't going to shop anywhere without a mask policy and if needed will only shop at commissary as her husband is military at very least until everyone is vaccinated.

Luckily her accounting firm a good worldwide one has everyone working from home until at least August.

Boys are back to school but all wearing masks wonder what schools will do now? Just checked her district keeping mask policy thank god!

mandate tho. Also, our positivity rate is below 3% and that is their scientific metric for opening our state up more.
