For more than 13 months, Massachusetts government has altered our ways of life in response to the coronavirus pandemic — and it's well past time to drop the outdoor mask mandate in Massachusetts.
There have been increased calls to make this change over the past week now that every American ages 16 and up is eligible for the vaccine and has been since Monday. New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu lifted his state's mask mandate last week, left-wing news outlets like Slate and The Atlantic have stories talking about why we don't need masks outdoors anymore; the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance is calling for it to end, as is the state's former acting Governor Jane Swift, a socially liberal Republican.
Coronavirus restrictions on business? All or almost all will be gone in Connecticut in less than one month.
The state's Democratic governor, Ned Lamont, announced on Monday, April 19 that outdoor restrictions will be gone on Saturday, May 1 and indoors, they will no longer be in effect as of Monday, May 19.
