Mask and Vaccine Mandates for Indoor Dining Are Ending in Several Cities and States

As once-cautious cities and states drop vaccination mandates for indoor dining, once again the onus is on restaurant owners and workers

Some instituted new rules over the past winter, when the omicron wave caused record numbers of COVID cases. Some never did much of anything, or

mask mandates. But as the omicron wave dips, even the most cautious cities and states are beginning to undo their strictest requirements, once again putting the onus on restaurants to decide who to let in.
