The key to ending the COVID-19 pandemic is to get almost everyone vaccinated, but until that happens, mask warrants return.

The last place they return is in Buffalo, where the Bills announced today that fans will be required to wear masks in interior areas of the stadium.

“According to updated guidelines from the Erie County Department of Health, masks or face coverings will be required for all fans, staff and vendors regardless of vaccination status when visiting. indoor facilities at Highmark Stadium, “the team said in a statement. “This includes all indoor areas, indoor club levels, lobbies, suites, washrooms and other enclosed spaces. If you are fully vaccinated, masks will not be required in areas outside the stadium. “

The Eagles announced the same policy today, and it’s likely all NFL stadiums will have mask requirements in at least some crowded indoor spaces. Full stages return this year, which is a big step towards normalcy, but the pandemic is not over yet.
