Masks wonât be required at Fairbanks North Star Borough facilities, except for the bus system, for vaccinated people after June 1, according to a Friday afternoon announcement from the borough.
Masks will continue to be required on the boroughâs Metropolitan Area Commuter System in accordance with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency relaxed public health guidance for vaccinated people last week, but not for people riding public planes, trains and buses. On public transportation, everyone is required to continue to mask up, even vaccinated people.
No vaccination proof will be requested of unmasked people at borough facilities, such as the Mary Siah Recreation Center or the Juanita Helms Borough Administration Center, according to a statement from Mayor Bryce Ward.
