But is now the time to lift Covid rules? 17:41Even in states where indoor mask requirements are lifted, counties can still require indoor mask-wearing on the local level, Benjamin told CNN. "The states are saying, 'OK, we governors are no longer going to manage it statewide. We're now going to lift a mandate from our perspective, and we're going to allow you to customize this,'"he said.
"This is harder to track as many locations dropped -- or were in the process of moving away from -- formal masking requirements even before the new, more targeted metrics were released," she wrote. "In some of those places, local policy sometimes shifted from indoor masking requirements to strong recommendations for indoor masking or supporting businesses to make those decisions location by location," she added.
