To wear a mask or not to wear a mask? It all depends on which town in Connecticut you are in.

As the COVID-19 numbers begin to stabilize, and in some cases the state has declined, many cities and towns are considering removing the requirement for indoor masks for vaccinated people.

According to wtnh.com, this week, many regional cities and towns will consider removing the mask regulations. It has already happened in towns such as Danbury, Glastonbury and Windsor. On Friday (October 15) Manchester cancelled its authorization, leaving the mask decision to the local business owner to choose whether to continue to implement it themselves.

At the same time, due to the massive spread of the virus in the area, other towns like East Hartford are not ready to take it to a new level.

According to CDC.gov, the term "substantial transmission" means that 50-99 COVID-19 cases have been reported for every 100,000 people in the past 7 days. The positive percentage is also the percentage of national COVID-19 test positives in the past 7 days.

This data gives local town and city officials an opportunity to comply with the guidelines and decide whether to consider removing your mask requirements.

Now just because a town has cancelled the regulations on wearing masks indoors, in some places, no matter what the regulations are, you still have to wear a mask. According to ct.gov, masks must still be worn in medical institutions, public and private transportation, correctional institutions, schools and nurseries.

Now every town has different restrictions, which can be a little confusing, so it is best to keep your mask handy in case your town has not lifted the requirement for masks.
