No. Some places where I live still require them, and in places like Walmart where nobody respects social distancing I wear one anyway.

I wear a mask at home while cleaning and dusting. Wish I had thought of that years ago.

We don't know if a variant will break through that might cause us to go back to square one. I'm afraid to get overly confident.

My husband and I do when in public places but I will go without in some places with only few people. He was supposed to go to a dinner for his 30 years at his job but declined. We haven't eaten in a restaurant but feel okay going places with our masks.

I'm required to wear one at a wildlife rehab place I volunteer at, but I don't wear one elsewhere. I'm not being overly social these days still - just a grocery trip or a trip to the hardware store or garden center - no parties, bars, or movie theaters.

Today I had an appointment with a chiropractor and I took the subway to my appointment and both required me to wear my mask.

I got a pedicure the other day and they also require clients to wear masks.

Given the choice though I choose not to wear one. After over a year of complying I’m done with masks.

it's still required for indoors in our state. you can be unmasked outdoors, but i think you have to keep your distance. from what i've heard, people are not following the distance requirement outdoors.

the military bases have relaxed the mask requirement, but not sure what the exact criteria is.

in costco yesterday, i noticed that although they require masks to be worn, they got rid of all of the floor "stickers" that space you 6' apart. they also kept their plexi-glass barriers installed on all of the check-out stands and customer service. they used to have plexiglass by the exit door where they look at your receipt, but it's been removed.

at bars, people don't give a rip. I've been to 2 bars, and it's the wild, wild west.

i still wear mine everywhere except when i go outdoors to walk. i have a mask in my fanny pack when i walk, but rarely put it on.

If it is required I always wear it - if it is optional I sort of assess the risk - am I going to be inside for a long time w/ a large group of people - if it is something like running in to a store to pick something up and it will only take me 5 min and it is not crowded and a mask is not required I skip it. If I am going to be in a place for a long-ish time and it is crowded I will wear one whether it is required or not.

I'm still not doing a ton of stuff indoors w/ a lot of people around - and I'm still working from home.

Most of my "socializing" is outdoors. If I eat out - it is outside. I have eaten inside a restaurant, I think once since getting vaccinated.

The variants concern me and I don't want to get a false sense of security about being vaccinated.

I still wear mine and will continue to wear it for a long time. I was at Jiffy Lube yesterday for an oil change and out of the 7 people in the waiting area, I was the only one wearing a mask.

I have a co-worker who forgot to put on their mask when entering a convenience store and when the store clerk asked her about not wearing it she said she was vaccinated. In fact, she's not vaccinated. And that's the very reason I'm going to continue to wear mine.

i agree too, plus our children <12 are waiting to get the green light to be vaccinated, so we still need to be cautious. i heard as early as September this might get finalized.

I will keep wearing it inside in public places even though I am vaccinated. Most places indoors in NJ require them. I lost my.mother to Covid. I will keep wearing it.

I wear one at work because NYS requires masks be worn in school buildings. And I had to put one on last week when I went to the chiropractor's office because NYS requires masks in all medical facilities.

Beyond that, if it isn't required, no I am not wearing one anymore. I am fully vaccinated and I have the NYS Excelsior pass on my cell phone.

We went to a retirement party a couple of nights ago and there wasn't one mask in the room (vaccinated school personnel). It was so wonderful to see people's faces!
