Monroe County and the City of Bloomington relaxed mask mandates and gathering limits on Monday, May 17; however, some retailers and local businesses may still require donning a mask before entering their establishment. 

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) also recently announced masks will be required for air, bus, and train travel through September 13, regardless of vaccination status.

The CDC still recommends mask usage if you are unvaccinated.
