Health care workers on the front lines of the pandemic are warning that reopening too soon is a recipe for disaster after a string of states dropped mask mandates and rolled back COVID-19 restrictions.
Last week, Texas and Mississippi dropped mask mandates, sparking concern that it could lead to another surge in cases but experts in states that already rescinded face-covering requirements said infections still may decline if the public stays vigilant.

BILLINGS â The state of Montana has seen zero lab-confirmed cases of influenza this season, which could be largely contributed to COVID-19 mitigation procedures like masking and physical distancing, said Nancy Iversen, Billings Clinic director of patient safety and infection control.
âBillings Clinic has not confirmed any type A or B in either any of our hospital patients or our outpatients. We do test for it. Weâre not testing a lot, but that is true and even for the United States, we are not seeing the normal pattern of influenza that weâve seen in prior years, Iversen said Wednesday.
