INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Starting June 7, people in Marion County who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will no longer need to wear masks unless required in businesses.
Marion County first mandated mask-wearing on July 9 during the coronavirus pandemic. Mayor Joe Hogsett says waiting until June 7 allows Indianapolis to get past the Indianapolis 500 and other large events in a safe manner.
Drew Slager, an Indianapolis resident, said that the upcoming end to the mask mandate “gives people some hope to say we are going to move forward and we will get through this.”
Slager understands businesses can make their own rules. “If someone is not vaccinated, I think they’re still at risk and there’s still a possibility of transferring the virus to other people that are at risk and, in that regard, I think that’s why businesses have the freedom to still require masks and that’s totally fine for them to do that.”
