Full list of states where face masks and coverings are required

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert was expected to make an announcement regarding a potential mask mandate on Tuesday. Instead, we learned that Provo and Orem would go back to orange restriction levels.

Herbert has previously hinted at a mask mandate due to the coronavirus pandemic. But he has refused to issue one since the pandemic began, asking residents to wear masks by their own volition.

But Utah recently hit 1,000 cases in a single day since the pandemic began. Herbert promised to meet with state leaders to talk about the surge and any options to stop it.

In a letter to students, the presidents of Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University said Tuesday things need to change.

“Behavior must change. We implore you to stay home except for in-person classes, work, church, and other essentials. We ask that you limit your social interactions to only those within your household and avoid small gatherings where individuals aren’t wearing masks or maintaining physical distance,” the university presidents said.

With rumors of a mask mandate swirling, we’ve put together a list of all the states that have mask mandates.
