Whether or not masks are effective in stopping or slowing the spread of COVID-19 is still up for debate. Some say they're as effective as keeping mosquitoes out of a yard with a chain-link fence.
But there's some good news concerning those pesky masks and national parks.
RV Travel reported:
WASHINGTON, March 4, 2022 – The National Park Service has updated its masking guidance to align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new COVID-19 Community Levels tool, which helps communities decide what prevention steps to take. Effective immediately, masking requirements will vary by park based on local conditions; however, masks are still required on all forms of enclosed public transportation. Updates will be posted on individual park websites to help visitors plan their visit and on signs in parks.
In areas CDC identifies as high COVID-19 community level, masks are required for everyone in all NPS buildings, regardless of vaccination status. In most low and medium COVID-19 community level areas, masks are optional, but visitors should follow signs and instructions from park staff and volunteers. Visitors and employees are always welcome to wear a mask if it makes them more comfortable.
