While some large retailers dropped mask requirements for fully vaccinated customers and employees, others say not so fast.
So how will these different policies be enforced?
Some local police departments say they are not going to get involved unless they have to.
Sergeant Matthew Dearing from the Schenectady Police Department says local businesses can make their own decisions regarding mask wearing, so it s up to the businesses to enforce.
He says as long as it isn t criminal in nature, they won t get involved. They will only respond if a law is broken. If police are called, they will conduct a preliminary investigation just to determine whether or not it is criminal.
