As of Monday, masks are no longer required in most settings in Maine.
It s the first time in a little more than a year that face coverings aren t broadly mandated, though it s still recommended that people who aren t vaccinated against COVID-19 wear them indoors.
That means most businesses can now decide independently whether to continue to require masks and policies vary from place to place.
